06B-3 triplex Taper-Lock sprockets

06B-3 Taper-Lock sprockets are triplex sprockets for 06B-3 chain of 3/8" (9.525 mm) pitch to DIN 8187 / ISO 606. Three chain strands transmit considerably more power at the same sprocket diameter.

06B-3 triplex Taper-Lock sprockets - higher load capacity without larger dimensions

When the machine has no room for a larger pitch, a triplex sprocket lets you increase the drive load capacity without changing the overall dimensions. The small pitch ensures smooth running, and the Taper-Lock seat - fitting without machining the bore and easy replacement.

Does triplex chain mean three times the power - questions about 06B-3 sprockets

Does a triplex chain transmit three times the power?

Not quite - the load is not shared perfectly evenly between the strands, so the increase in load capacity is slightly smaller. Even so, a triplex chain transmits much more than a simplex chain.
