3 Critical Problems Ruining Your Roller Chain System
❌ Premature Wear & Tear
Low-grade steel sprockets wear out 3-4x faster, leading to costly downtime. YIDI’s hardened carbon steel (C45/1045) sprockets undergo heat treatment for 60+ HRC hardness.
❌ Chain-Sprocket Mismatch
Incorrect pitch diameters cause jumping chains and accelerated damage. Our ANSI #25 to #240 sprockets match standard roller chain dimensions with ±0.05mm precision.
❌ Long Lead Times
Waiting 8-12 weeks for custom sprockets? Our China-based factory delivers OEM orders in 5-7 days and stocks 10,000+ standard sprockets for immediate shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
🔹 Can you manufacture sprockets for non-standard chain sizes?
Yes. We specialize in custom chain pitches (metric or imperial) and can produce sprockets for rare chain sizes (e.g., #80H, #100H). Provide your chain specification or sample, and our engineers will reverse-design the sprocket.
🔹 What’s your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ is 1 piece for standard sprockets (in stock). For custom orders, the MOQ is 50 pieces. No MOQ for samples—contact us for a free prototype.
🔹 How do you ensure quality control?
Every sprocket undergoes:
- Material testing (spectrometer analysis).
- Dimensional inspection (CMM machines).
- Hardness testing (Rockwell scale).
- Dynamic load testing (10,000+ cycles).
🔹 What are your payment terms?
We accept:
- T/T (Telegraphic Transfer): 30% deposit, 70% before shipment.
- L/C (Letter of Credit) at sight.
- PayPal/Western Union for small orders.
- Trade Assurance via Alibaba for risk-free transactions.
🔹 How do I calculate the correct sprocket size for my chain?
Use our Sprocket Pitch Diameter Calculator or follow this formula:
🔹 Do you offer installation support?
Yes. We provide:
- CAD drawings for custom sprockets.
- Installation guides (PDF/video).
- 24/7 technical support via WhatsApp/email.
🔹 What’s your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return window for unused sprockets. Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. If a sprocket fails under normal use, we’ll replace it for free.
