Drive Roller Transmission Options Sprocket Poly V and O Belt
Drive Roller Transmission Options
Drive rollers can be equipped with three transmission types: single sprocket, double sprocket for sprocket type 08B14T with shaft 12, poly V end caps with shaft 12, and O belt end caps with shaft 12. Each option matches a specific drive system and shaft size.
Sprocket Type 08B14T with Shaft 12
The double sprocket option is designed for sprocket type 08B14T and requires a shaft diameter of 12 mm. This configuration is used when chain drive is the selected transmission method.
Poly V End Caps with Shaft 12
Poly V end caps are used with a shaft diameter of 12 mm and are suitable for belt-driven systems where a poly V belt is the transmission medium.
O Belt End Caps with Shaft 12
O belt end caps are designed for shaft diameter 12 mm and are used when an O belt is the transmission method. This option provides a compact drive solution for low to medium torque applications.
Matching Transmission to Drive Roller
Select the transmission type based on the drive system used in the conveyor. Ensure the shaft diameter matches the roller's shaft size, which is 12 mm for all listed options.
Shaft Size Consistency Across Options
All drive roller transmission options listed—single sprocket, double sprocket, poly V end caps, and O belt end caps—are designed for a shaft diameter of 12 mm. This ensures compatibility across different drive types when using the same roller shaft.
Selecting the Right End Cap Type
Choose the end cap type based on the drive method. Use sprocket end caps for chain drives, poly V end caps for poly V belt drives, and O belt end caps for O belt drives. All require a 12 mm shaft.
