The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When a worn sprocket or a snapped roller chain brings your conveyor, agricultural equipment, or industrial drive to a halt, finding an exact-fit 10A sprocket wheel or matching chain quickly is critical. This listing is designed for engineers, maintenance technicians, and serious DIYers who need a verified ANSI 10A (ISO 16A) sprocket or chain without guesswork — available in tooth counts from 10T to 39T and multiple chain configurations.
The sprocket range covers Flat Sprockets, Cam Sprockets, A-Type Double Strand Sprockets, and B-Type Double Strand Sprockets, all machined to suit 10A (5/8" pitch) roller chain. Chain options include Single Curved Plate, Single Straight Plate, Double Strand, Double Curved Plate, Extended Pin Single Strand, and stainless steel variants (201 & 304 grade) — supplied in standard lengths of approximately 1.524 m (5 ft) or 1.5 m (4.9 ft) depending on configuration. Bore and hub dimensions vary by tooth count; see variant options for confirmed measurements.
Typical use cases include replacement sprockets for 10A chain conveyor systems, cam-driven indexing mechanisms requiring precise tooth engagement, duplex strand drives on agricultural machinery such as combine feeders and baler drives, and corrosion-resistant 304 stainless roller chain for food-processing or washdown environments.
Choose from Flat, Cam, A-Double Strand, or B-Double Strand sprockets in 10T through 39T — plus five chain styles — all in a single listing for convenient mix-and-match ordering.
All sprockets and chains conform to the 5/8" (15.875 mm) pitch standard, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with existing 10A drive components on your equipment.
Carbon steel variants deliver solid tensile strength for general industrial drives; 201 and 304 stainless steel chain options resist oxidation in humid, wet, or mildly corrosive environments.
A-Type and B-Type double strand sprockets, plus the Double Strand Chain option, allow higher torque transmission in compact drive layouts without upsizing to a larger chain pitch.
Extended pin chain supports attachment plates or cross-bars for conveyor flights; curved plate chain offers improved articulation and reduced noise in high-speed or directional-change applications.
Sprocket tooth profiles and chain roller diameters are machined to ANSI tolerances, making these direct replacements for OEM 10A components on conveyors, agricultural equipment, and general machinery.

Match the tooth count to your existing sprocket or calculate the required speed ratio: divide the driver sprocket teeth by the driven sprocket teeth to get the reduction ratio. For most light-to-medium industrial drives, a tooth count between 17T and 25T on the driven sprocket provides a good balance of speed, load capacity, and chain wrap angle. If you are replacing a worn sprocket, count the teeth on the old one or check your equipment's parts manual for the OEM specification.
A Flat Sprocket has a uniform hub face and is used in standard single or double strand drives where the chain runs in a straight line. A Cam Sprocket features an offset or profiled hub designed for cam-driven mechanisms — such as indexing tables or timing drives — where the sprocket must engage the chain at a specific angular position. If your application is a straightforward power transmission drive, a Flat Sprocket is typically the correct choice.
Double strand sprockets are used when the torque load exceeds the capacity of a single strand 10A chain, or when you need to transmit power to two parallel chain runs simultaneously. A-Type and B-Type refer to hub and flange geometry differences that affect how the sprocket mounts to the shaft and aligns with the chain. Check your drive's torque requirements against the rated working load of the chain, and consult your equipment manual to confirm which hub style fits your shaft and keyway.
304 stainless steel chain offers good corrosion resistance to water, mild acids, and cleaning agents commonly used in food-processing and washdown environments, making it a widely accepted choice for those applications. 201 stainless steel provides moderate corrosion resistance at a lower cost and is suitable for humid or mildly corrosive conditions but is less resistant than 304 in chloride-rich environments. For direct food-contact or aggressive chemical exposure, verify compliance with your local food-safety regulations before installation.
Single Straight Plate chain uses flat, rectangular side plates and is the standard configuration for most industrial power transmission drives — it offers maximum tensile strength for a given pitch. Single Curved Plate chain uses side plates with a curved (bent) profile that allows slightly more articulation between links, which can reduce noise and vibration in high-speed applications or drives with small-diameter sprockets. For general replacement purposes, match the plate style to your existing chain.
Extended Pin chain has pins that protrude beyond the outer side plates on one or both sides, providing attachment points for conveyor flights, cross-bars, pusher dogs, or other carrier attachments. It is functionally identical to standard roller chain in terms of pitch and load capacity, but the extended pins allow you to bolt on conveyor accessories without modifying the chain. If your application is purely power transmission with no attachments, standard single strand chain is the appropriate choice.
Measure your drive shaft diameter with a vernier caliper or micrometer. The sprocket bore must match or be slightly larger than the shaft diameter (to allow for a key or interference fit). Bore dimensions vary by tooth count and sprocket type — select your variant above and refer to the variant detail page, or contact us to confirm the bore diameter for your specific model before placing your order.
