Sprocket 06B-2 z=21 with hub, hardened

Product Description

Sprocket 06B-2 z=21, hardened hub

Sprocket 06B-2 with hardened hub, 21 teeth, duplex - a product matched to a chain with a pitch of 9.525 mm (3/8"). 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 does a hardness of around 45-55 HRC on the teeth extend the service life of the sprocket-chain system?

A hardness of 45-55 HRC matched to the hardened chain rollers is the optimal combination. The sprocket and chain wear slowly and evenly, and the sprocket does not turn into a "blade" that could shear the chain during operation.

Does Ozdowski have its own warehouse and fast shipping of parts?

Yes - we know that every minute counts during a production line breakdown, which is why we keep large stocks of sprockets available immediately, allowing lightning-fast shipping and a quick solution to the drive problem.

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.

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?

06B-2 sprockets operate in the drives of construction machinery, goods lifts, aggregate conveyors and woodworking machines - wherever tooth durability under heavy load matters.
