ANSI #60 sprockets are widely used in medium to heavy-duty industrial transmission systems thanks to their durability, stable power transmission, and high compatibility with ANSI roller chains. Belota supplies a full range of #60 sprockets with various tooth counts, strand configurations, materials, and custom machining options to meet the needs of conveyors, production lines, and industrial machinery. Manufactured according to ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards, these sprockets ensure precise engagement, reliable performance, and long service life.

Basic Technical Specifications of ANSI #60 Sprockets

  • Chain Pitch: 19.05 mm (3/4 inch)
  • Roller Diameter: Approx. 11.91 mm
  • Inner Width: Approx. 12.57 mm
  • Working Load: Suitable for continuous medium to heavy-duty operation

Available Types of ANSI #60 Sprockets

Type 60A Sprocket (Type A – Without Hub)

A flat plate sprocket without a hub extension. This simple design is commonly welded or clamped directly onto the shaft and is suitable for applications that do not require frequent disassembly.

Type 60B Sprocket (Type B – Single Hub)

The most commonly used type. It features a single hub on one side, allowing easy machining of bore holes, keyways, and set screws for secure and accurate installation.

Type 60C Sprocket (Type C – Double Hub)

Designed with hubs on both sides of the sprocket for greater stability during operation. Typically used in heavy-duty systems or applications requiring high concentric accuracy.

Technical Specification Table for Type 60B Sprockets

Belota provides a wide range of ANSI #60B sprockets from 8 teeth to 90 teeth, suitable for different industrial applications.

Key Parameters Include:

  • Tooth Count
  • Outside Diameter (Do)
  • Pitch Diameter (Dp)
  • Bore Diameter (Min/Max)
  • Hub Diameter (BD)
  • Hub Length (BL)
  • Weight (KG)

(Custom machining available upon request.)

Outstanding Advantages

  • Strong and durable construction
  • Easy installation and maintenance
  • Stable operation with efficient power transmission
  • Reduced energy loss and chain tension adjustment
  • Low friction and quieter performance
  • Long-lasting tooth surface with excellent wear resistance

In addition to standard sizes, Belota also supports custom machining for:

  • Bore diameter (d)
  • Keyway dimensions (b, t2)
  • Tapped holes (M)

Classification of 60B Sprockets by Configuration

By Chain Strand

  • Single Strand Sprocket: Designed for single ANSI #60 roller chains, suitable for standard transmission systems.
  • Multi-Strand Sprocket: Used with duplex, triplex, or multiple-strand chains to increase load transmission capacity.

By Bore Type

  • Plain Bore: Unfinished bore that requires additional machining according to the actual shaft size and keyway.
  • Finished Bore: Pre-machined bore with standard keyway for quick installation.

Taper Bore

Used with taper bushings for easy installation/removal and strong shaft locking performance.

General Characteristics of 60B Sprockets

High Compatibility

ANSI #60B sprockets are designed specifically for ANSI #60 roller chains with a 19.05 mm pitch. The tooth profile precisely engages the chain rollers, ensuring smooth transmission while reducing slipping and wear.

Durable Materials

Typically manufactured from high-quality carbon steel such as S45C or equivalent materials with excellent load-bearing capability. Some models are heat-treated to improve tooth hardness and extend service life.

Wide Industrial Applications

ANSI #60B sprockets are commonly used in:

  • Industrial conveyor systems
  • Food processing machinery
  • Packaging lines
  • Woodworking industry
  • Electroplating systems
  • Lifting equipment
  • Automation systems

Conclusion

Choosing the correct ANSI #60 sprocket helps improve transmission efficiency, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs. Depending on load requirements, installation space, and technical specifications, businesses can select the appropriate sprocket type, strand configuration, and bore style for optimal performance.
When properly selected and accurately machined, ANSI #60 sprockets provide a durable and reliable transmission solution for many industrial applications.
