08B (1/2") tandem sprockets

08B tandem sprockets work simultaneously with two 08B-1 simplex chains of 1/2" (12.7 mm) pitch to DIN 8187 / ISO 606. 08B chain is the most popular size in roller conveyors, which is why this group has the widest choice of versions.

08B tandem sprockets matched to the mounting method and operating conditions

You can match the sprocket exactly to the mounting method and operating conditions: a standard C45 steel sprocket can be machined for your shaft, a Taper-Lock sprocket can be fitted in a few minutes without machining, and for continuous duty, frequent starts under load and dust you can choose the version with induction-hardened teeth, which keeps its tooth profile longer.

1/2 inch tandem sprockets, standard and Taper-Lock, also hardened

08B tandem sprockets, standard and with a Taper-Lock bush seat, both versions also with hardened teeth.

When to choose hardened teeth - frequently asked questions about 08B tandem sprockets

When should I choose a tandem sprocket with hardened teeth?

When the conveyor runs continuously, often starts under load or works in dust. Harder teeth wear more slowly, so the sprocket and chains work together correctly for longer.
