Sprocket 06B-3 z=29 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 06B-3 z=29, with hub

Sprocket 06B-3 (pitch 3/8" - 9.53 mm), triplex (three-strand), 29 teeth, with hub. The sprocket complies with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 and is made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1); the teeth are not hardened, which lowers the cost of the sprocket and makes it easier to machine (e.g. deep boring of the hub) throughout the entire volume of the material.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How does a sprocket with hardened teeth differ from the standard version (non-hardened)?

The hardened version has teeth induction-hardened to 45-55 HRC, which extends service life in drives operating continuously and under heavy load. The standard version (non-hardened) is cheaper and fully adequate for applications with moderate load or intermittent operation - our catalogue offers both variants for most pitches and numbers of teeth.

Can a new chain be fitted on an old, worn sprocket?

Never do this. An old, deformed sprocket has altered tooth geometry and will force drastic mechanical stretching on the new chain. The rule is "new chain - new sprocket" - only then will the drive achieve maximum service life.

Can I replace a simplex sprocket with a duplex one without changing the other drive components?

No - switching to a duplex chain and sprocket requires replacing the entire set (the sprockets on both sides of the drive and the chain) with a duplex version of the same pitch, because the rim spacing and chain width differ from those of the simplex version.

Is it worth using guards on sprockets and the entire drive?

Yes - a guard protects operators from contact with moving parts and at the same time limits the ingress of dust and moisture to the chain, which genuinely extends its service life. In many industrial machines, a chain drive guard is also an occupational safety requirement.

Where is this product used?

06B-3 sprockets operate in drives of construction machinery, goods lifts, aggregate conveyors and woodworking machines - wherever tooth durability under load matters.
