Sprocket 08A-1 (40-1) z=42 plate wheel

Product Description

Sprocket 08A-1 (40-1) z=42 plate wheel works with ASA 40 (08A-1) roller chain, single-strand (simplex), with a pitch of 12.7 mm (1/2"). It is a plate wheel without a hub, has 42 teeth and is made of C45 steel in accordance with ISO 606 and ANSI B29.1.

The plate wheel has a pilot bore of Ø20 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

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does this sprocket fit?

ASA 40-1 (08A-1) roller chain with a pitch of 12.7 mm. A simplex sprocket requires a single-strand (simplex) chain.

Does it fit 08B chain?

No. 08B chain (European standard) has the same pitch, but a different roller diameter (8.51 mm instead of 7.94 mm) and a different inner width (7.75 mm instead of 7.94 mm). The ASA 40 sprocket is designed for American-standard chain, so the two systems should not be mixed.

How should a sprocket be protected before a longer machine standstill?

After cleaning with a brush and technical cleaner, coat the whole surface of the sprocket with preservative grease or thick spray oil that displaces moisture. This protects the C45 steel against corrosion during downtime, for example out of season.

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.

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 12.7 mm (1/2").

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.
