Sprocket 06B-2 (3/8") z=51 plate wheel, C45 steel

Product Description

Sprocket 06B-2 (3/8") z=51 plate wheel, C45 steel fits 06B-2 roller chain (European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606), double-strand (duplex), with a pitch of 9.525 mm (3/8"). It has 51 teeth and is made of C45 steel.

The plate wheel has a pilot bore of Ø16 mm. It can be bolted or welded to your own hub, flange or drum, which makes it a good choice for larger ratios and non-standard designs.

Technical data

Applications

It works well in light drives: packaging machines, labelling machines and small conveyors. The double-strand version carries higher loads than a single-strand one of the same pitch. Plate wheels are often mounted on drums and flanges and in large reduction gears.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does the 06B-2 z=51 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 do I check sprocket run-out after installation?

A dial indicator on a magnetic stand is used. Place the tip against the rim or side of the sprocket and turn the shaft, reading the deviations. Excessive run-out usually means a crooked bore or a damaged shaft.

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.

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.
