Browning 1297282 Chain Idler Sprocket Size 60 17 Tooth Steel

Product Description

The BROWNING 1297282 is a single-strand chain idler sprocket designed for use with ANSI Size 60 roller chain. It features a 4.46-inch outside diameter, 17 teeth, and a 0.75-inch pitch, all constructed from steel for durability in demanding drive applications. As an idler sprocket, it maintains chain tension and guides chain travel without transmitting torque directly, making it a critical component in conveyor, material handling, and power transmission assemblies. Installation is typically handled by mechanical technicians and industrial maintenance professionals working on chain drive systems.

This idler sprocket is suited for industrial and commercial chain drive setups where ANSI Size 60 single-strand roller chain is specified. Common applications include conveyor lines, agricultural equipment, manufacturing machinery, and other mechanical power transmission systems that require consistent chain tension and alignment. Its steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate to heavy load demands and where longevity under continuous operation is required.

Key Features

• ANSI Size 60 single-strand roller chain compatibility with 0.75-inch pitch
• 17-tooth configuration with 4.46-inch outside diameter for precise chain engagement
• Steel construction for strength and wear resistance in industrial environments
• Functions as an idler to maintain chain tension without direct torque transmission
• Meets ANSI standards for dimensional and performance consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit idler sprocket for single-strand ANSI Size 60 roller chain drive systems requiring a 17-tooth, 4.46-inch outside diameter sprocket.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician familiar with chain drive systems. Disengage and lock out all power to the drive system before beginning work, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify chain size, pitch, and strand count match sprocket specifications before installation. Proper chain tension and sprocket alignment should be confirmed after installation to prevent premature wear.
