17 Tooth Machined Split Sprocket (3-1/2" Square Bore)
SKU: P-C2309
The P-C2309 (BCN3BP-17T-35-MA-R) is a precision-machined plastic sprocket. Its standout feature is the split design, which allows for much easier maintenance and replacement. Unlike solid sprockets that require you to slide them off the end of a long drive shaft, a split sprocket can be bolted directly onto the shaft in place, significantly reducing downtime.
Construction and Specifications
- Design: Split Sprocket. The two-piece construction allows for installation or removal without dismantling the entire conveyor shaft.
- Tooth Count: 17 Teeth. This determines the drive speed and engagement with the conveyor belt links.
- Bore Size: 3-1/2 inch Square Bore. Designed to fit securely onto a standard 3.5-inch square drive shaft, ensuring high torque transfer without slipping.
- Material: Machined Plastic. This material is preferred in car wash applications because it is self-lubricating, corrosion-proof, and quieter than metal alternatives.
- Color: White.
Application
- System Use: Used primarily in Belt Conveyor systems.
- Purpose: It serves as the primary drive or idler component that engages with the underside of the conveyor belt to move vehicles through the wash tunnel.
- Product Type: Machined Split Sprocket
- Manufacturer P/N: BCN3BP-17T-35-MA-R
- Tooth Count: 17
- Bore Size: 3-1/2" Square
- Material: Machined Plastic
- Color: White
- Configuration: Split (Two-piece)
- Easy Installation: The split design eliminates the need to remove bearings or other components from the shaft during replacement.
- Corrosion Proof: The machined plastic construction is ideal for the wet, chemical-heavy environment of a car wash.
- Precision Fit: Machined (rather than molded) to ensure tight tolerances and smooth belt engagement.
- High Torque: The 3-1/2" square bore provides a massive surface area for the shaft to grip, preventing the "rounding out" common in smaller or circular bores.
