Browning 1297241 Chain Idler Sprocket Ansi 35 19T Steel

Product Description

The BROWNING 1297241 is a single-strand chain idler sprocket designed to guide and tension ANSI No. 35 roller chain in mechanical drive systems. Machined from steel, it features 19 teeth and a 2.47-inch outside diameter with a 0.375-inch pitch. Idler sprockets do not transmit torque — they maintain chain alignment and proper tension on the slack side of a drive. This part meets ANSI standards and is suited for light-to-medium duty conveyor, agricultural, and industrial drive applications. It weighs 0.3 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This sprocket is used wherever ANSI No. 35 single-strand roller chain requires guided tensioning or path redirection. Common install scenarios include small conveyor systems, packaging equipment, agricultural machinery, and general industrial drives. The 19-tooth count and 2.47-inch outside diameter make it appropriate for applications requiring a compact idler with moderate chain wrap. Maintenance technicians and millwrights working on light-duty chain drives will find this a direct service replacement or a new-installation idler for compatible No. 35 chain assemblies.

Key Features

• ANSI No. 35 chain compatibility with 0.375-inch pitch
• 19 teeth and 2.47-inch outside diameter for compact drive layouts
• Single-strand configuration for standard roller chain installations
• Steel construction for durability in light-to-medium duty environments
• Meets ANSI standards for dimensional conformance
• Lightweight at 0.3 pounds — easy to handle during installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with ANSI No. 35 single-strand roller chain (0.375-inch pitch) in standard industrial and light-duty mechanical drive applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or qualified maintenance technician. De-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing any sprocket. Verify chain tension and alignment after mounting the idler to prevent premature wear. Consult applicable ANSI and OEM drive design guidelines for proper idler placement and chain wrap angle.
