RS40-1B-20T Simplex Sprocket for Glass Conveyor
Part Code: RS40-1B-20T
Part Name: Simplex Sprocket for Glass Conveyor
Part Name: Simplex Sprocket for Glass Conveyor
Part Code: RS40-1B-20T
Usage: This sprocket is used in glass manufacturing conveyors for transporting glass panels through production lines.
Application of Glass Conveyor Sprocket
Built for Precision and Smooth Handling:
Specifically designed for use in glass manufacturing conveyor lines, such as those found at Asahi India Glass, Saint-Gobain, and other leading automotive and architectural glass facilities. It ensures safe, consistent transfer of glass panels across multiple processing stages — from cutting and washing to tempering and coating.
Optimized for Gentle Material Movement:
Engineered to move delicate glass sheets smoothly and evenly through conveyor sections, preventing cracks, chips, or surface damage even under high-speed operations.
Precision Bore and Keyway Alignment:
Machined with a 20.10 mm bore and 6.20 mm keyway for minimal vibration and accurate alignment — critical for maintaining product quality in precision glass handling systems.
Cost-Effective and Efficient Power Transmission:
The simplex sprocket design enables reliable, low-shock power transfer with lighter chains, ensuring energy efficiency and reduced operational stress during continuous 24/7 production.
Durable Construction for Long Service Life:
Manufactured from EN9 steel with black oxide or zinc plating for improved wear resistance and moderate corrosion protection, minimizing maintenance needs in demanding environments.
Enhanced Stability and Secure Mounting:
Features a multi-step hub design with flanges and radii for added structural strength and secure installation, ensuring consistent performance in precision conveyor setups.
Induction-Hardened Teeth for Reliability:
Each tooth is heat-treated to deliver long-lasting durability, smooth torque transmission, and extended operational life under heavy glass loads.
Summary
The Glass Conveyor Sprocket delivers smooth, vibration-free movement, superior wear resistance, and extended service life — ensuring safe and efficient handling for automotive, architectural, and solar glass manufacturing lines.
