Key Features<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
ANSI B29.1 Compliant<\/div>\n
Full conformance to ANSI B29.1 standard ensures interchangeability with any brand of #240 roller chain and drive components available in the Australian market.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Induction-Hardened Tooth Profile<\/div>\n
Precision tooth-flank hardening to HRC 50\u201360 extends service intervals by 3\u00d7 and eliminates the chain-skip failure mode that plagues soft-tooth sprockets.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Type A \/ B \/ C Hub Options<\/div>\n
Three hub styles cover every mounting scenario \u2014 from weld-on platewheels (Type A) to deep double-hub engagement (Type C) for maximum torque transfer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Ex-Stock Availability<\/div>\n
Standard tooth counts stocked in Australia for same-week dispatch, minimising equipment downtime during emergency replacements.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Compatibility & Selection<\/h2>\n

Compatible with ANSI #240 roller chain<\/strong> to ANSI B29.1 standard (pitch 3″, roller \u03a6 1.875″). Also available in double-strand (#240-2) and triple-strand (#240-3) for higher power applications. Finished bore<\/strong> and taper bore<\/strong> options available \u2014 specify shaft diameter at order. Request a selection guide<\/a> from our engineers.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n
\n\n►  What chain does the ANSI #240 sprocket use?<\/summary>\n
The ANSI #240 sprocket uses ANSI B29.1 #240 roller chain with pitch 3″. Do not use with ISO metric chain of similar pitch without verifying roller diameter compatibility.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n►  What is the difference between Type A, B and C sprockets?<\/summary>\n
Type A is a plain disc (no hub) for welding or bolting. Type B has a single boss on one side. Type C has bosses on both sides for maximum shaft engagement and torque capacity.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n►  Are double and triple-strand versions available?<\/summary>\n
Yes. #240-2 (duplex) and #240-3 (triplex) are available for higher torque drives. Please specify strand count when ordering.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n►  Can you supply with a specific finished bore?<\/summary>\n
Yes. Specify your shaft diameter and keyway dimensions at order. Standard lead time for finished bore is 5\u20137 days.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n►  Do you stock these in Australia?<\/summary>\n
Selected tooth counts are stocked locally for 2\u20135 day delivery. Contact our sales team to confirm stock availability for your specific requirement.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
    \n
  1. Match bore to shaft diameter (H7\/k6 tolerance recommended for press-fit applications).<\/li>\n
  2. Position sprocket on shaft; secure keyway and set-screw per hub marking torque spec.<\/li>\n
  3. Align with driven sprocket using a straight-edge across tooth faces within 0.5 mm.<\/li>\n
  4. Thread ANSI #240 roller chain; close with a half-link or connecting link and orientate the open end away from the direction of travel.<\/li>\n
  5. Set sag on slack strand to 2\u20133% of centre distance; recheck after 4 hours of loaded operation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The ANSI #240 sprocket<\/strong> (pitch 3″, 76.2 mm) is a core American-standard roller chain sprocket<\/strong> for industrial drives across conveyors, agricultural machinery, and manufacturing equipment. Manufactured from C45 carbon steel with CNC-hobbed, induction-hardened teeth (HRC 50–60), it delivers superior wear life and dimensional accuracy, solving premature tooth wear and chain-jumping issues in ANSI B29.1 compliant drive systems.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_cat":[6693,6948,7059],"product_tag":[6795,6794,6773,6793,6796],"class_list":{"0":"post-2832","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-sprockets","7":"product_cat-ansi-sprockets","8":"product_cat-standard-sprockets","9":"product_tag-240-roller-chain-sprocket","10":"product_tag-3-inch-chain-sprocket","11":"product_tag-ansi","12":"product_tag-ansi-240-sprocket","13":"product_tag-maximum-pitch-sprocket","15":"first","16":"instock","17":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheelsprocket.xyz\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheelsprocket.xyz\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheelsprocket.xyz\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wheelsprocket.xyz\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2832"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wheelsprocket.xyz\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheelsprocket.xyz\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wheelsprocket.xyz\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2832"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wheelsprocket.xyz\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
