Sprockets must be matched to the chain pitch ANSI #40 (1/2"), #50 (5/8"), #60 (3/4"), #80 (1"), or #100 (1-1/4") and the tooth count must maintain the correct gear ratio. Bore diameter and keyway must match the shaft.

❓ Common Questions

Q: How do I identify the correct sprocket tooth count?

A: Count the teeth on the worn sprocket before removal, or refer to the Chicago Dryer parts manual for your machine model and the specific drive position. Changing tooth count changes drive ratio and machine speed always match the original tooth count unless deliberately changing the ratio per a Chicago Dryer engineering recommendation.
