Do you need a center guide, side guide or multi-guide chain? On Ramsey ordering charts, guide type is designated as follows: ( > C ) for center, ( > S ) for side or( > M ) for multiguide. Remember that sprocket guidetype must be compatible with your chain (see Specifying A Sprocket section, p.13). > Inverted tooth conveyor chains are available in two basic build types: all-link, identified with an ( > L ) inRamsey ordering charts, and link-spacer, identifiedwith an ( > S ). Each assembly has its advantages. Some of our glassindustry customers prefer one chain build over another. When replacing...

All Ramsey conveyor chains operate on 1/2" pitchRamsey sprockets. Our sprockets are typically manufactured from C-1141 steel and are heat treated to provide hardened tooth surfaces. Sprockets can be fully machined with finished boreand setscrews, or you can ask that they be suppliedwith an unfinished bore to allow further machining. Specialized machining is available to accommodatea customers exact specifications. Materials, other than steel, are available upon request. > It is important to choose a sprocket that is compatible with your chain. You should always consider the following:For assistance...
