Sprocket 06B-1 z=76 with hub, Cast iron

Product Description

Sprocket 06B-1 z=76, with cast iron hub

Sprocket 06B-1, simplex, with 76 teeth and a hub - pitch 3/8" (9.53 mm). Cast iron version of the sprocket - the tooth geometry is identical to the steel version with the same pitch and number of teeth; the bore in the hub is a pilot (preliminary) bore, and the exact size is achieved by turning.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Will a sprocket from another manufacturer work properly with the chain I already have?

If the sprocket is made to the same standard (DIN 8187/ISO 606) and has the same pitch and number of strands, it should work properly with a chain of another brand - that is the purpose of standardisation in this industry. However, differences between manufacturers may concern, for example, hub dimensions or material, so these parameters are worth checking separately.

How can you recognise an idler sprocket bearing that is starting to wear before it fails?

The first symptom is usually increased noise and noticeable, excessive play of the sprocket when it is moved by hand with the machine stopped. It is also worth periodically checking the temperature of the bearing housing during operation - an increase compared with other bearings in the system signals progressive wear.

How does material quality prevent the teeth from "shearing" during sudden machine jerks?

Soft, uncertified sheet metal deforms under a sudden jerk - the teeth bend over. Steel from a certified melt, correctly heat-treated, has a high yield strength and withstands a torque surge without permanent deformation.

How can you check that the sprocket meshes correctly with the chain when the machine is started for the first time?

At low speed (e.g. turning the shaft by hand), it is worth observing whether the chain enters and leaves the teeth smoothly around the entire circumference of the sprocket, without catching or jumping. Any irregularities in operation at this stage usually indicate an alignment error rather than a defect in the sprocket itself.

Does a cast iron sprocket require a different chain than a steel sprocket of the same pitch?

No - the tooth geometry and pitch are identical to those of the steel version of the same size, so the cast iron sprocket works with the same chain. The difference lies in the material of the hub and rim: cast iron dampens vibrations better and is cheaper, but withstands impacts and operation at high rotational speeds less well than steel.

Where is this product used?

06B-1 sprockets are used in industrial drive transmissions: conveyors, feeders, packaging machines and production lines where precise, repeatable torque transmission matters.
