BS 6592:1985 PDF Download

BS 6592:1985 is a standard that specifies the requirements for drive sprocket assemblies used in chain conveyors for mining applications. The standard focuses specifically on sprocket assemblies for twin outboard chain configurations.

The standard provides guidelines for the design, dimensions, materials, and construction of these sprocket assemblies. It ensures that the sprockets have the necessary strength and durability to withstand the demanding conditions of mining operations, where chain conveyors are often subjected to heavy loads and harsh environments.

The standard also covers requirements for the dimensions and tolerances of the sprocket teeth, ensuring proper engagement with the conveyor chains. It specifies the minimum number of teeth on the sprocket and provides guidelines for the pitch diameter and tooth profiles.
