Re: pic: Question to the conveyor experts out there

I don't see how those could keep a chain from coming off if it loosened... the chain will move away from those shoulders, not towards them, so the shoulders can't do anything to stop the chain.

I would venture a guess that you're seeing either sprocket clutches designed to prevent overloading, or quick-change sprocket hubs designed to allow easy servicing and replacement of sprockets.
