ABSTRACT:
A sprocket drive assembly designed for a modular chain link conveyor belt subject to relatively large variations in width due to changing ambient conditions such as large cyclic temperature changes. The assembly includes a drive shaft with a square cross section and a plurality of sprockets mounted on the shaft for rotation thereby. One sprocket is fixed against axial movement to provide for proper belt tracking while the remaining sprockets, the number depending upon the width of the belt and the load carried thereby, are located on opposite sides of the fixed sprocket and are free to move axially to accommodate for changes in belt width.
