Abstract
A radial blade impeller for an industrial fan assembly may include a cylindrical impeller hub having a hub outer surface and a hub shaft bore, a plurality of impeller blade assemblies circumferentially spaced about the hub outer surface and extending outward from the hub outer surface. A first sprocket disposed on a first end of the impeller hub engages a lateral edge of each of the impeller blade assemblies and has a plurality of first sprocket teeth extending outward from a first sprocket outer edge. Each of the first sprocket teeth corresponds to one of the impeller blade assemblies and engages and is secured to the first lateral edge of the corresponding one of the impeller blade assemblies. A second sprocket disposed on a second end of the impeller hub has a similar configuration with second sprocket teeth aligning with and engaging opposite lateral edges of the impeller blade assemblies.
