Allen-Bradley 178S-48 Sprocket 48 Teeth For Industrial Applications

This aftermarket Allen-Bradley 178S-48 sprocket has 48 teeth and is marketed as a replacement part for industrial drive systems that specify the 178S-48 pattern. It is designed for use in industrial equipment where a 178S-48 sprocket is specified, providing a compatible component for chain-drive assemblies that rely on this exact tooth count and geometry, and intended to restore correct timing, engagement, and spacing in equipment that previously used the original part. With 48 teeth, the sprocket engages a standard roller chain in drive configurations common to manufacturing and material-handling equipment, helping maintain proper chain alignment, reducing wear on connected shafts, and supporting reliable performance in long-running applications across production lines, packaging systems, and automated conveyors. As an aftermarket replacement, it offers an alternate source for maintenance or repair of existing equipment, enabling continued operation in facilities that depend on consistent sprocket geometry, predictable wear patterns, and readily available parts for scheduled maintenance and quick-turn repairs.
