Sprocket 06B-2 z=114 with hub, Cast iron

Product Description

Sprocket 06B-2 z=114, with cast iron hub

Duplex sprocket 06B-2 with hub, 114 teeth - designed for chain with a pitch of 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.

Frequently asked questions

How do you select the number of teeth on the driving and driven sprockets to obtain the required ratio?

The ratio is calculated as the quotient of the number of teeth on the driven sprocket and the number of teeth on the driving sprocket. For example, to halve the rotational speed, the driven sprocket should have twice as many teeth as the driving sprocket - both sprockets must have the same pitch and number of strands.

What should be considered when selecting a sprocket for low-temperature operation?

At low temperatures, carbon steel becomes more susceptible to brittle fracture under impact, so in cold stores and freezers it is worth considering a variant with increased impact strength or consulting the supplier on the choice of material. Equally important is the choice of a lubricant that will not thicken or lose its lubricating properties at low temperature.

When is it worth considering a sprocket made of reinforced steel for heavy-duty operating conditions?

In heavy dust, with powerful jerks (e.g. in presses) and wherever a breakdown in the middle of the season is not an option, sprockets made of higher-strength quenching and tempering steel or a variant with hardened teeth are often a good solution - it is worth consulting the supplier in the case of unusual operating conditions.

Do you offer sprockets made to custom dimensions, outside the catalogue?

Yes, in addition to catalogue items we also manufacture sprockets to individual drawings or customer requirements - please contact the sales department and provide the required parameters (pitch, number of teeth, hub dimensions, material).

Is a duplex sprocket the same as a tandem sprocket (for two single chains)?

No, even though they look very similar. A tandem sprocket is also a single, monolithic sprocket, but with a different (wider) spacing of the toothed rims - designed specifically for two independent simplex chains running in parallel. This duplex sprocket has a rim spacing matched to a single duplex chain, in which both strands are integrated with each other. Using a duplex sprocket for two single chains is a mistake - the spacing is too narrow and the chains will rub against each other, which leads to accelerated wear and, in extreme cases, to serious drive failure.

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?

Applications include drives in the food industry, packaging machines, sorting lines and agricultural harvesting machines, where the sprocket operates seasonally but under full load.
