Double Pitch Sprockets SUS2040RB | Stainless No.2040R

SUS2040RB stainless double-pitch sprocket (No.2040R SS / 2042 SS, 25.4 mm pitch, large-roller). Direct substitute for Tsubaki, Renold, and Rexnord 2042-type sprockets. 304 SS, 10–13 effective teeth, custom bore available. Factory-direct from Hangzhou.

Description

Product Overview

The SUS2040RB is a large-roller double-pitch stainless steel sprocket designed for No.2040R SS (also known as No.2042 SS) roller chain. The critical distinction from the SUS2040SB is the roller diameter: where the SB uses a 7.95 mm small roller identical to standard No.40 chain, the RB uses a 15.88 mm large roller — the same diameter as No.80 chain. This large roller enables the chain to ride on flat or curved conveyor tracks and curved guide rails, making the 2040R / 2042 combination the standard choice for overhead power-and-free conveyor systems and track-guided product carriers.

Machined in 304-grade stainless steel at our Hangzhou plant, SUS2040RB covers 10 through 13 effective teeth and replaces Tsubaki 2042 stainless, Renold 2040R double-pitch, and Rexnord 2042-series components with factory-direct pricing and short custom-bore lead times.

Key Features

🛤️
Track-Compatible Large Roller
The 15.88 mm roller runs smoothly on flat conveyor rails and curved steel tracks — enabling the chain to traverse corners and horizontal curves without requiring catenary-type chain guides.
💧
Stainless for Hygienic Systems
304 SS with passivation resists the wash-down chemicals used in food and pharmaceutical overhead conveying systems, preventing contamination of products below.
🎯
Precision Tooth Form
Hobbed to JIS B 1802 for No.2040R roller geometry. The large-roller gullet radius and approach angle are distinct from the SB type — correct engagement geometry is critical for smooth chain tracking.
🔇
Quiet Double-Pitch Engagement
Fewer roller engagements per conveyor metre than standard-pitch chain at the same speed — a genuine advantage in open-plan warehouses and retail distribution centres.

Applications

The large-roller 2040R / 2042 combination is the industry standard for a specific class of conveyor: systems where the chain must also serve as a running surface or guide element. Common deployments include overhead power-and-free trolley conveyors in automotive plants, electrified monorail systems in distribution facilities, and clean-room overhead product carriers in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

“SUS2040RB replaces our Tsubaki 2042 sprockets on an overhead monorail in our cheese-production facility. Perfect dimensional match, and the stainless holds up to our twice-daily wash-down with no issues. Highly recommended.”

H
Hans V.
Netherlands
★★★★★

“Ordered 8 pieces with 42 mm bore. Arrived dimensionally correct, keyway matched our shaft keys. The overseas lead time (10 days) was faster than getting parts through our local Tsubaki distributor. Will continue sourcing from Ever-Power.”

J
James T.
Australia
★★★★☆

“Good quality and clear communication from the sales team. Minor cosmetic mark on one piece from transit packaging — flagged it and they offered a credit on the next order. Good after-sales attitude.”

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between No.2040R and No.2042?+
No.2040R and No.2042 are different designations for the same chain: double-pitch, 25.4 mm pitch, large (15.88 mm) roller. The 2042 designation is more commonly used in ANSI-market catalogues; 2040R appears in JIS-market documentation. They are the same physical chain and the SUS2040RB sprocket mates with both.
2. Will SUS2040RB run on No.2040S (small-roller) chain?+
No. The tooth profile is designed for the 15.88 mm large roller. Using SUS2040RB with No.2040S small-roller chain (7.95 mm roller) will result in incorrect roller seating and rapid wear. Always match sprocket type to chain roller diameter.
3. What bore sizes are standard stock?+
Standard stock bore is 12.5 mm across all tooth counts. Custom bores from 14.5 mm to the maximum listed are available with a short machining lead time from drawing confirmation.
4. Can SUS2040RB be supplied in 316L stainless?+
Yes. 316L is available for all SUS2040RB configurations. It offers superior chloride and pitting resistance for applications in coastal, marine, or chemical environments.
5. Do you supply the full overhead conveyor component set?+
We supply sprockets, chain, connecting links, and standard guide rails. For complex overhead conveyor design (curves, switches, take-up units), we recommend working with a local conveyor-system integrator who can incorporate our components into the complete system design.
