Product Overview

The Steel Single Sprocket Roller is a drive roller with a single sprocket mounted on a steel or stainless steel tube, designed for use in powered conveyor systems. It features a 08B or 10A bearing house and is available in multiple diameters and shaft sizes to match common tube dimensions. The roller is supplied with a galvanized, chrome plated, or PU/rubber coated surface treatment for wear resistance and grip. It is used in belt, roller and slat conveyors where a single sprocket drives the roller via a chain or timing belt.

Part of the Roller range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.

Key Benefits

  • Single sprocket design allows chain or belt drive from one side of the conveyor
  • Available in multiple tube diameters and shaft sizes to match existing conveyor frames
  • Steel or SUS304 tube material for strength and corrosion resistance
  • Surface treatments including galvanized, chrome plated, or PU/rubber coating for durability and grip
  • Bearing house type 08B or 10A matches standard roller bearing sizes for easy replacement

Application Scenarios

  • Powered belt conveyors where a single sprocket drives the roller via a chain or timing belt
  • Roller conveyors in warehouse automation where chain-driven rollers move product along a line
  • Assembly lines using slat or roller conveyors with a single drive point per section
  • Conveyor sections requiring a drive roller with a specific shaft size and tube diameter
  • Systems where surface coating improves grip on belts or prevents slippage on rollers

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building chain-driven roller conveyors
  • Material handling equipment builders sourcing drive rollers with matching tube and shaft sizes
  • Industrial distributors stocking drive rollers by model and drive type
  • Production line builders needing consistent drive rollers for high-volume assembly lines
  • Warehouse automation contractors installing powered conveyors with standard sprocket drive

Problems It Solves

  • Mismatched shaft or tube sizes between drive rollers and existing conveyor frames
  • Need for a single sprocket drive roller that matches a specific chain pitch and sprocket type
  • Lack of consistent drive roller options with matching bearing house and surface treatment
  • Difficulty in sourcing rollers with specific tube material and surface coating in one unit
  • Inconsistent drive performance when using rollers with mismatched sprocket or bearing types

  • Tube diameter and wall thickness verified against the model specification
  • Shaft diameter and length checked for consistency with the model
  • Sprocket alignment confirmed to ensure smooth chain engagement
  • Bearing house and bearing type verified against the model number
  • Surface treatment applied and inspected for even coverage and adhesion

Customization Options

  • Choose between steel or SUS304 tube material based on environment and load
  • Select surface treatment: galvanized, chrome plated, PU or rubber coating
  • Specify shaft diameter and length to match existing conveyor frame
  • Select sprocket type and chain pitch to match drive system
  • Order specific model number to match tube diameter, shaft size and drive type

Use Guide

  • Verify that the tube diameter and shaft size match the existing conveyor frame
  • Confirm that the sprocket type matches the chain or belt pitch used in the system
  • Choose surface treatment based on environmental conditions and belt type
  • Ensure the roller length matches the conveyor width or section length
  • Use the correct bearing type and house size to ensure compatibility with existing roller bearings
