Sprocket 06B-2 (3/8") z=24 with hub, C45 steel

Product Description

Sprocket 06B-2 (3/8") z=24 with hub, C45 steel is designed for 06B-2 roller chain (European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606), double-strand (duplex), with a pitch of 9.525 mm (3/8"). It has 24 teeth and is made of C45 steel.

The sprocket has a one-sided hub with a diameter of 61 mm and a pilot bore of Ø12 mm, which is bored to the shaft size and completed with a keyway or a set screw hole. The total width of the sprocket is 30 mm.

Technical data

Applications

It works in small chain transmissions, feeders and traverse mechanisms where a compact design matters. The double-strand version carries higher loads than a single-strand one of the same pitch.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does the 06B-2 z=24 sprocket fit?

06B-2 roller chain to European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606, with a pitch of 9.525 mm. A duplex sprocket requires a double-strand (duplex) chain.

Does it fit ASA 35 chain?

No. ASA 35 chain (American standard) has the same pitch, but a different roller diameter (5.08 mm instead of 6.35 mm) and a different inner width (4.77 mm instead of 5.72 mm). The 06B sprocket is designed for European-standard chain, so the two systems should not be mixed.

How does tooth wear affect machine operation?

Worn teeth make the chain engage the sprocket unevenly and abruptly. This causes vibrations that are passed on to shafts and bearings and accelerate wear of the whole drive.

When are multi-strand sprockets used?

Double- and triple-strand sprockets work with multi-strand chains in heavily loaded drives where there is no room for a chain with a larger pitch. Several strands share the load evenly, which reduces wear and the risk of chain breakage.

How do I check the pitch of a sprocket?

The sprocket pitch matches the chain pitch - it is the distance between the centres of adjacent teeth measured on the pitch circle. The easiest way to check it is to place a section of matching chain on the sprocket: it should sit on the teeth without tension. This sprocket has a pitch of 9.525 mm (3/8").

What does the lead time depend on?

When ordering, please check the current stock level of this sprocket - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in each warehouse. The stock level is shown above the product price and may vary depending on the warehouse.
