What Is an A Plate Sprocket?
A Type A plate sprocket is a flat sprocket without a hub. Because there is no hub, A plate sprockets are useful where space is limited, where the sprocket needs to be mounted to another component, or where the bore needs to be machined for a custom setup.
For #40 chain, the sprocket pitch matches the chain pitch of 0.500″, or 1/2″. The tooth count changes the sprocket diameter, speed ratio, and chain wrap, which is why choosing the correct size matters.
Common Applications for 40A Plate Sprockets
40 Chain A Plate Sprockets are commonly used in conveyors, packaging equipment, agricultural equipment, light industrial machinery, material handling systems, OEM builds, and custom fabricated drive systems. They are a strong choice when a simple plate-style sprocket is needed and the mounting method is handled separately from the sprocket itself.
These sprockets are also helpful for machine shops and maintenance teams that need a blank or plain bore sprocket to modify for a specific shaft, weldment, fixture, or custom drive layout.
