10B-1 simplex hub sprockets

10B-1 hub sprockets are simplex sprockets for 10B-1 chain of 5/8" (15.875 mm) pitch to DIN 8187 / ISO 606. They are a popular choice in agricultural machinery and conveyors where 08B chain is no longer strong enough.

A 10B-1 sprocket can also be matched to a non-standard shaft diameter

A wide choice of tooth counts lets you select the transmission ratio without compromise. You bore out the pilot bore for your shaft, so the sprocket also fits non-standard diameters. C45 steel copes well with loads, and larger sprockets are also available in grey cast iron.

Questions and answers: 10B-1 simplex sprockets

How do I choose the number of teeth on the driving sprocket?

The more teeth, the more smoothly the chain runs and the more slowly it wears. At higher speeds at least 17 teeth are recommended - leave small sprockets for low-speed drives.
