#240 Makaralı Zincir Dişlileri | A Plakası B Göbek C Göbek – 10 ila 60 Diş, 3 İnç Adım
Kore'nin Daimi Gücü #240 roller chain sprockets are built for the most demanding low-speed, high-torque drives in industrial service. At 3-inch pitch (76.2 mm), the heaviest C-hub 60-tooth unit weighs 1,419 lb with an outside diameter of 59.040″ — these are the sprockets used in primary drives for heavy presses, large cement kilns, bulk ship unloaders, and major konveyör zinciri head shafts where nothing smaller is mechanically adequate.
#240 Chain Sprockets — The Largest ANSI Standard Drive Series
#240 is the largest chain size in the ANSI B29.1 standard roller chain series. The 3-inch pitch (76.2 mm) and correspondingly large roller and pin dimensions give #240 chain a tensile strength of approximately 400,000 lbf (181 tonnes) per strand — over twice that of #180 chain. This places #240 firmly in the category of primary drives for the largest industrial installations: main conveyor belt drives at bulk material terminals, rotating kiln drives at cement plants, primary press drives in forging operations, and ship unloader main drives at Korean port facilities.

At this scale, sprocket procurement is not a routine maintenance purchase — it is a capital planning item. Korea Ever-Power maintains stock of standard #240 sprockets in A-plate, B-hub, and C-hub configurations and offers the custom bore machining service required to fit these sprockets to the non-standard shaft diameters common in original equipment. SAE 1045 steel with heat-treated hardened teeth is standard, providing the margin over common 1018-grade material that the operating loads in these applications demand.

#240 A-Plate Sprocket Specifications
A-plate #240A sprockets are flat-disc configuration with no hub. The "(D)" column shows the maximum bore diameter for the plain plate body. Note that even at 10 teeth (OD 11.030″, weight 30 lb), these are substantial components — handling equipment is required from the 20-tooth size upward. All dimensions are ANSI B29.1 nominal in inches; weight values are approximate and may vary by ±5% depending on final bore dimension.

#240 B-Hub Sprocket Specifications
B-hub #240B sprockets carry a single hub on one face, extending shaft engagement for keyway retention. The B-hub series covers 10–25 teeth — all smaller sprockets that function as driver units on main shaft positions. Hub diameter and length-through-bore values must be checked against available shaft clearance and bearing face distance before specifying; these are large components with substantial hub projections.

#240 C-Hub Sprocket Specifications
C-hub #240C sprockets carry hub projections on both faces. The 30–60 tooth range listed here represents the driven-end sprockets in major industrial reduction drives. The 240C60 at 1,419 lb with 59.040″ OD and 6-3/4″ bore length requires heavy-lift crane equipment for installation — plan lifting points, access routes, and shaft clearance before confirming an order for these units.

#240 vs. #180 — When to Step Up to the Larger Pitch
Both #180 and #240 are heavy industrial chain sizes. The decision between them is primarily about transmitted power at the available shaft speed. Here is a direct comparison to help clarify when #240 is the appropriate specification:
| Özellikler | #240 (Korea Ever-Power) | #180 (for comparison) |
|---|---|---|
| Saha | 3.000″ (76.2 mm) | 2.250″ (57.15 mm) |
| Silindir çapı | 1.874″ | 1.406″ |
| Approximate breaking load | ~400,000 lbf (181 tonnes) | ~160,000 lbf (73 tonnes) |
| Max recommended chain speed | ~2.5 m/s (low-speed, high-torque) | ~3.5 m/s |
| Heaviest sprocket in range | 1,419 lb (240C60) | 489 lb (180C60) |
| Typical application | Kiln drives, ship unloaders, major press drives | Steel mill auxiliary, mining conveyors |
| Choose #240 when… | #180 is too marginal at your torque and speed combination, or total transmitted load exceeds 70 tonnes | Power requirement is within #180 rating with adequate safety factor |
When total drive power exceeds the #180 chain rating at your operating speed, the next step is single-strand #240 — not multi-strand #180. Multi-strand arrangements multiply alignment complexity and introduce synchronisation requirements that single-strand #240 avoids entirely.

Procurement Planning for #240 Sprockets — What to Prepare Before Ordering
Ordering a large #240 sprocket is not the same process as ordering a standard #40 or #60 unit off the shelf. The weight, dimensional complexity, and custom bore requirements mean that thorough preparation before inquiry will result in a faster and more accurate order process.
Industrial Applications for #240 Chain Sprockets in Korea

Matching #240 Heavy Duty Roller Chain

Korea Ever-Power stocks ANSI #240 heavy duty roller chain — 3-inch pitch, supplied in standard 10-foot lengths with offset links — to pair with the sprockets above. At this chain size, connecting link assembly requires specific tooling and should be performed by trained mechanical personnel. Contact our technical team for chain length calculations when the centre distance is confirmed; #240 chain is not cut-to-length in the same manner as smaller chains and the link count must be confirmed before chain is shipped.
For a complete technical reference on specifying #240 drives including power rating calculations, shaft load analysis, and installation guidance, our engineering team provides pre-order technical consultation. Further reference on heavy duty chain and sprocket systems selection is available for large-scale industrial projects.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
Müşteri Yorumları
Kore ve çevre pazarlardaki müşterilerden alınan doğrulanmış geri bildirimler.
Kim Sang-woo, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Port Terminal Company, Busan (early 2025)
"We specified 240B15 and 240C45 for a ship unloader main drive refurbishment at our Busan facility. Korea Ever-Power supplied both with custom bores — 4.5-inch on the B-hub and 6.5-inch on the C-hub — machined to our drawings. The CoC and material certificates were included in the shipment as requested. Components arrived within the 18-day window we agreed on, which met our maintenance schedule."
Cho Byung-kwan, Chief Engineer, Cement Plant, North Gyeongsang Province (2024)
"Kiln auxiliary drive slow-roll sprocket replacement — we needed 240C35 with a 5-inch bore and dual keyways. Korea Ever-Power machined both keyways 180 degrees apart as per ASME B17.1 with the correct tolerances. The technical team confirmed our keyway specification before machining, which avoided the tolerance error we had with our previous supplier. Sprocket has been in service for nine months without issues."
Lee Hyun-sik, Procurement Director, Industrial Plant Engineering Company, Seoul (Q2 2024)
"We manage equipment procurement for multiple heavy industrial clients across Korea. Korea Ever-Power is now our standard source for #180 and #240 sprockets. The combination of stock availability, custom machining capability, and documentation provision covers everything our clients need for these components. Delivery reliability over the past 14 months has been consistent — one delayed order in that period, which was communicated proactively rather than discovered at deadline."
Park Jae-hyun, Maintenance Manager, Aggregate Processing Plant, Gyeonggi-do (early 2025)
"Our primary crusher feed conveyor uses #240 chain with 240B14 and 240C40 sprockets. We replaced the full set during last year's annual maintenance. Korea Ever-Power supplied both units with standard bore from stock — no custom machining needed in this case. Lead time was 12 days. The hardened teeth on the 240B14 are holding up well considering the abrasive quarry dust environment; previous sprockets lasted about 14 months and we are currently at 11 months with no visible tooth wear approaching replacement threshold."
Yun Tae-jun, Project Engineer, Heavy Forging Facility, Ulsan (2025)
"New press line installation. We originally considered multi-strand #180 but the Korea Ever-Power engineering team recommended single #240 as simpler and more reliable for our specific torque and speed parameters. The pre-order consultation was thorough — they ran the numbers and explained why #240 was the right choice. Sprockets arrived on schedule, both with machined bores and single keyways per our specification."
