Description

When your chain-driven equipment starts making noise or the chain starts jumping, it’s often an idler sprocket that’s worn out. This little workhorse keeps your #50 chain running smooth and straight, taking up slack and maintaining proper tension. Whether it’s on a conveyor, elevator, or other chain-driven system, a good idler sprocket is what keeps everything moving like it should.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined 15-tooth design that meshes perfectly with #50 roller chain
Standard 5/8 inch bore fits most common shaft sizes on farm equipment
Heat-treated steel construction handles the constant rotation and chain tension
Smooth operation reduces chain wear and keeps your equipment running quietly

Built for Real Farm Work

This idler sprocket works on a wide range of agricultural equipment that uses #50 chain systems. You’ll find these on grain elevators, conveyors, augers, and various feed handling equipment. The 5/8 inch bore is a common size on many farm implements, making this a handy part to have around the shop.

Made to Last

Farm equipment doesn’t take breaks, and neither should your idler sprockets. This one’s made from quality steel that’s been heat-treated to handle the constant stress of chain operation. The teeth are machined to the right profile so your chain rides smooth and doesn’t bind or jump.

Good to Know

Installing this sprocket is straightforward—just slide it onto the shaft and secure it in place. Check your chain alignment when you’re done to make sure everything tracks properly. If your old sprocket’s teeth are worn or chipped, don’t wait—a bad idler can damage your expensive chain and cause other problems down the line.
