Browning 1297290 Chain Idler Sprocket Ansi 80 13T Steel

Product Description

The BROWNING 1297290 is a single-strand chain idler sprocket designed for use with ANSI 80 roller chain. Built from steel, this sprocket features a 4.66-inch outside diameter and 13 teeth at a 1-inch pitch, conforming to ANSI standards. Idler sprockets maintain chain tension and control chain path routing without transmitting torque from a shaft. This component weighs 2.6 pounds and is suited for industrial and mechanical drive applications where ANSI 80 chain is specified. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of component.

This sprocket is applied in conveyor systems, industrial drive assemblies, and power transmission setups that use ANSI 80 roller chain. It is appropriate for single-strand chain configurations and is commonly found in manufacturing, material handling, and equipment drive trains requiring controlled chain tensioning or guide routing. The steel construction makes it a durable choice for demanding duty cycles in industrial environments.

Key Features

• ANSI 80 chain trade size compatibility at 1-inch pitch
• 13-tooth single-strand idler configuration
• 4.66-inch outside diameter steel construction
• Idler design for chain tensioning and path control without torque transfer
• Meets ANSI standards for roller chain sprockets
• Compact 2.6-pound weight for straightforward installation in tight drive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with ANSI 80 single-strand roller chain at 1-inch pitch. Verify sprocket bore, hub dimensions, and mounting requirements against the specific drive assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or qualified industrial maintenance technician. De-energize and lock out the drive system fully before removing or installing any sprocket. Align the idler sprocket carefully with the chain run to prevent side loading or accelerated wear. Inspect chain wear and tension before returning the drive to service.
