Plate Wheels
A plate wheel is a type of sprocket commonly used in power transmission systems to drive roller chains in mechanical and industrial applications. Unlike traditional sprockets with hubs, plate wheels feature a flat, compact profile—typically manufactured from hardened steel or stainless steel—making them ideal for space-constrained environments and lightweight assemblies. These components are available in British Standard (BS) and American Standard (ANSI) pitch sizes, and are precision-machined to ensure accurate chain engagement, reduced vibration, and extended service life.
Plate wheels are widely used in conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, automated production lines, and packaging equipment, where durability and alignment are critical. Their pilot bore design allows for custom machining to suit specific shaft diameters or keyways, offering flexibility across a range of installations. Whether you're sourcing simplex, duplex, or triplex chain-compatible plate wheels, they provide a cost-effective solution for high-efficiency torque transfer in industrial settings.
