Sprocket 06B-2 z=14 with hub, hardened

Product Description

Sprocket 06B-2 z=14, hardened hub

Sprocket 06B-2, duplex, with 14 teeth and a hardened hub - pitch 3/8" (9.525 mm). The material is carbon steel C45E (EN 10083-1), and the teeth undergo induction hardening to 45-55 HRC - in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606; the hub retains a lower core hardness, so it can be machined safely.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How do you correctly align sprockets during installation?

The driving and driven sprockets must be in one perfect line. You can use a long steel straightedge placed against the faces of both sprockets or a professional laser alignment tool. Even a slight angular deviation will quickly destroy the chain.

How do you cut a keyway in the hub of a sprocket?

We cut keyways precisely on slotting machines according to DIN 6885. If you do it yourself, maintain axial alignment and the correct width and depth of the keyway so that the key sits securely and is not sheared off.

When does tooth wear (the "shark fin" profile) mean the sprocket must be replaced?

If the teeth resemble pointed, tilted shark fins, the sprocket must be replaced immediately. Operating on such a profile can damage even a brand-new chain within a dozen or so days.

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.

Where is this product used?

Typical applications of the 06B-2 sprocket: drives for pumps, mixers and industrial fans, as well as control systems for industrial gates and roller shutters, where resistance to continuous operation is required.
