U.s. Tsubaki 40P24 Split Taper Sprocket 24 Teeth

Product Description

The U.S. TSUBAKI 40P24 is a split taper sprocket designed for use with ANSI No. 40 roller chain running a 1/2-inch chain pitch. It carries 24 teeth and accepts a P-series taper bushing, which is sold separately and allows the sprocket to be mounted and removed from a shaft without disturbing the driven equipment. The outside diameter measures 4.1 inches. Weighing 2.2 pounds, this sprocket is a practical choice for power transmission assemblies where routine maintenance access or shaft fitment flexibility is required. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, or industrial technicians.

This sprocket is suited for general industrial power transmission applications involving conveyors, packaging equipment, material handling systems, and other machinery driven by ANSI No. 40 roller chain. The split taper bushing design simplifies shaft mounting across a range of bore sizes, making it adaptable to new builds and replacement installations alike. It is appropriate for both light and moderate-duty drive applications in commercial and industrial environments.

Key Features

• 24-tooth count for ANSI No. 40 roller chain drives
• 1/2-inch chain pitch compatible with standard No. 40 chain
• P-series split taper bushing hub accepts a separately sourced taper bushing for flexible bore sizing
• 4.1-inch outside diameter suits moderate-ratio drive configurations
• Split taper design allows on-shaft mounting and removal without full disassembly of driven components

Compatibility

Designed for use with ANSI No. 40 roller chain at 1/2-inch chain pitch and compatible with P-series split taper bushings. Taper bushing is not included and must be ordered separately to complete the assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright or maintenance mechanic. De-energize and lock out the drive system before beginning work, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Select the appropriate P-series taper bushing for the shaft diameter and follow the bushing manufacturer's torque sequence when tightening the bushing capscrews. Do not force the sprocket onto the shaft or use the bushing fasteners to draw a tight-fitting assembly together.
