16B-2 duplex plate sprockets

16B-2 plate sprockets are duplex plate wheels for 16B-2 chain of 1" (25.4 mm) pitch to DIN 8187 / ISO 606. Duplex 16B chain transmits very high forces, which is why it is found in main machine drives and heavy conveyors.

16B-2 duplex plate wheels - a heavy sprocket on your own hub

A plate wheel without a hub lets you build a heavy duplex sprocket on your own hub, and a bolted-on rim shortens later replacement. Plate wheels with induction-hardened teeth are available in a wide choice, so you can easily find a durable driving sprocket.

Replacing plate wheels together with 16B-2 chain - questions and answers
