Browning 1297233 Chain Idler Sprocket Ansi 35 13 Tooth

Product Description

The BROWNING 1297233 is a single-strand chain idler sprocket designed to maintain tension and guide ANSI No. 35 roller chain in mechanical drive systems. Built from steel, this sprocket measures 1.75 inches in outside diameter and carries 13 teeth with a 0.375-inch pitch. Idler sprockets like this one are used wherever chain slack must be controlled or chain routing must be redirected without transmitting load. The 1297233 is a compact, lightweight component at 0.1 pounds, suitable for integration into equipment with tight drive-bay clearances. Licensed mechanics and maintenance technicians working on conveyor drives, HVAC equipment, and light industrial machinery are the typical installers.

This sprocket is intended for use with ANSI No. 35 roller chain in single-strand configurations. It is commonly found in light-duty mechanical drive assemblies across HVAC equipment, pool and spa systems, conveyor lines, and other machinery where a low-profile idler is required to route or tension chain. Its all-steel construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and light industrial environments where moderate loads and standard ambient conditions are present.

Key Features

• Compatible with ANSI No. 35 single-strand roller chain
• 13-tooth configuration with 0.375-inch pitch for consistent chain engagement
• Steel construction for durability in mechanical drive applications
• 1.75-inch outside diameter fits compact drive arrangements
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, minimizing added load on drive assemblies
• Meets ANSI standards for dimensional interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement idler sprocket for mechanical drive assemblies using ANSI No. 35 single-strand roller chain.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician. Disengage and lock out all power to the drive system before beginning work, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the idler is properly aligned with the chain run before tensioning to avoid side loading or premature chain wear. Verify that chain pitch and strand count match the sprocket specifications before installation.
