Plastic Nylon Roller Chain Sprockets

HZPT Chain and Sprockets is a premier supplier of plastic power transmission components. We have plastic sprockets available in ANSI sized #25 - #80 and in a UHMW, Nylatron, or Nylon material. Other materials such as Repro and Acetal can be used as well, and we can produce the plastic metric, double pitch, duplex, engineer class, and custom-designed sprockets. Some of the main benefits of using a plastic roller chain sprocket are that they run quieter and produce a much better wear life on the roller chain. These sprockets are also highly anti-corrosive, extremely lightweight, have high impact resistance, and are FDA approved.

High Wear Resistance of Nylon Sprocket

In modern industry, metal sprockets have been gradually replaced by nylon sprockets. The friction between metal sprockets and accessories during use will increase the noise in the production workshop. Another point is that metal sprockets slowly lose their original accuracy due to long-time friction and impact during long-time work. On the contrary, nylon sprockets have high wear resistance and impact resistance, so they do not need to be replaced for a long time after installation, The silence of the plastic itself also greatly reduces the noise in the production process and does harm to the human body.

Characteristics of Nylon Sprockets

◆High strength, can bear the load for a long time
◆Excellent resilience, twists, and turns can not be deformed, together can adhere to patience, resist repeated impact
◆Wear resistance and self smoothness, which is better than that of bronze, cast iron, carbon steel, and phenolic pressing plate in oil-free or (deoiling) smooth application, so as to reduce consumption and save energy
◆Noise absorption and shock absorption. The modulus of nylon sprocket is much smaller than that of metal, and the attenuation of vibration is large. It provides a useful way to avoid noise-specific effects better than metal.
◆Compared with metal, nylon sprocket has low hardness and does not damage the worn parts
◆The low conflict coefficient provides the possibility of its wide application in conflict cases
◆High chemical stability, alkali resistance, alcohol, ether, hydrocarbon, weak acid, smooth oil, detergent, water (seawater), and has the characteristics of odorless, non-toxic, tasteless, and rust-free, which provide excellent conditions for the application of mechanical parts widely used in alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, environmental protection and cleaning, food, textile printing, and dyeing, etc.

Nylon Sprockets In the Food Industry

With the continuous development of various industrial enterprises, while constantly innovating belt conveyor products, technology is also widely used to better improve production efficiency. The nylon sprockets in the accessories of food conveying equipment have been widely used. Let's first understand the performance of the nylon sprockets of food belts conveying machinery and equipment. The food belt conveyor nylon sprocket is made of a thermoplastic resin with repetitive amide groups on the molecular chain and has high mechanical properties, which not only play a role in heat resistance and wear resistance in production operations It also has the characteristics of low friction coefficient and self-lubrication. In the process of food production and transportation, the nylon sprocket also has good shock resistance and noise elimination ability, and can also play a good role in oil resistance, weak acid and alkali resistance, and chemical reaction.

A nylon sprocket is a sprocket composed of cog-type buckle teeth and can mesh with the link chain block and the pitch on the chain cable more accurately. Usually, it will be made into toughness during processing. The semi-transparent or milky white sprocket in the form of angle is also a solid and spoked gear, which can better achieve mutual meshing with the food conveying equipment and the roller chain and realize the meshing between the roller and the nylon sprocket. , can carry out better transmission operations. In the actual production, transportation, and operation, the nylon sprocket can also better block the power supply, and will not produce any toxins. At the same time, it also has a good self-extinguishing ability, and it does not require metal in terms of stable performance. The material of the sprocket is poor, so it gradually replaces the metal food belt conveyor sprocket, which saves the production cost for the enterprise.
