FULL FACE VS. A-PLATE PROFILES

The two most common drum sprocket tooth profiles are the A-plate and full face styles. Both are available based on your application design and come pre-assembled with a shaft and pillow block bearing if requested.

Full-Face Drum Sprocket

Increased surface area resulting in lower contact pressure between the sprocket and chain. Greater wear ability make full face the standard for most applications.

A-Plate Drum Sprockets

A-Plate style can handle greater misalignment and provide bulk material pass-through.
