The MARTIN tensioner sprocket is a steel power transmission component that mounts on a shaft to guide and maintain tension in roller chains. It helps prevent vibration and supports the service life of both chain and gears, and it is found in many industrial and agricultural settings.
The part number tells you what you are holding. Two figures sit on either side of the letter E: the first is the chain pitch, the second is the tooth count. So 31E20 is a sprocket for pitch 31 with 20 teeth, 41E15 is pitch 41 with 15 teeth, 51E15 is pitch 51 with 15 teeth, and 61E14 is pitch 61 with 14 teeth. Reading the code this way lets you match the sprocket to the chain you need to tension without extra measuring.
You will find these tensioner sprockets on chain drives in food processing, metallurgy, agriculture and logistics. Typical equipment includes conveyors, bucket elevators, harvesting machines, conveyor belts, and drive systems for mills and mixers. The tensioner takes up the slack that develops as a chain stretches, which keeps the drive running smoothly and quietly.
When selecting a replacement, confirm the chain pitch, the number of teeth and the shaft diameter. Check that the sprocket and chain align; misalignment leads to premature wear. Lubricate the chain and sprocket on a regular schedule, and use sealing that keeps contaminants out. Mount with the correct tools and observe the axial clearance specified for the assembly.
MARTIN tensioner sprockets interchange with other brands that follow the same pitch and tooth count. For a quote, send either the original part number or the pitch and tooth count, and we can suggest a compatible alternative. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this brand and can help you choose the right model.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the tensioner sprocket I need?
- You need the chain pitch and the number of teeth. The MARTIN part number combines both: for example, 41E15 means pitch 41 and 15 teeth. If you have the original part number, send it via WhatsApp and we will quote the equivalent.
- Are MARTIN sprockets compatible with other brands?
- Yes, MARTIN tensioner sprockets follow dimensional standards that allow interchangeability with other brands using the same pitch and number of teeth. Always verify shaft dimensions and alignment before replacing.
- What maintenance does a tensioner sprocket require?
- Lubricate the chain and sprocket periodically, check tension and inspect tooth wear. Correct alignment and a clean environment extend the service life of the assembly. If you detect noise or skipping, check the tensioner.
