Chains & Sprockets

Idler sprockets are used in a variety of power transmission applications.Raydafon manufactures custom two piece idler sprockets combining stamping, machining and bearing capabilities. Raydafon’s wide variety of options allows customizing in order to respond to the application demands.

Raydafon has manufactured oilfield sprockets for most of the equipment builder’s machines in service today. If there is a sprocket drawing that we don’t have we can make a new drawing or reverse engineer your sprocket to manufacture for you. If you have a drawing for the sprocket you want built, just send it to us for a quick and accurate quotation.

Besides the sprockets, we also supply chains, bearings, shafting, gearboxes, motors, and UHMW wear panels. To get a quote on salt spreader conveyor chain assemblies or for additional information simply give us a call or email

Raydafon can provide a full range of sprockets to complement our complete chain offering. Made-to-order sprockets can be supplied to your specifications for non-standard requirements. All sprockets are manufactured to ANSI standards, using the highest quality control procedures.

Our conveyor chain sprocket is made of medium carbon steel through integral forging process. The integral hardening and tempering ensures optimum strength and toughness. The sprocket teeth are created by specialized gear hobbing machines, and they undergo high frequency quenching to ensure competent wearing resistance and fatigue strength.

Double pitch sprockets have rollers of the same diameters and widths as American Standard roller chains of one half the conveyor chain pitch. Engaged by every other tooth, double duty sprockets have two teeth per chain pitch. During each revolution only half the teeth function effectively. Sprockets with odd numbers of teeth will allow any given tooth to engage only on every other revolution, automatically increasing sprocket life. Double duty sprockets with even number of teeth may be manually advanced one tooth periodically to increase sprocket life.
