Sprocket 08B-1 z=114 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 08B-1 z=114, with hub

Sprocket 08B-1 (pitch 1/2" - 12.7 mm), simplex, 114 teeth, with hub. Manufactured in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 from C45E structural steel (EN 10083-1), without tooth hardening - as a Polish manufacturer, Ozdowski supplies an economical version that is fully dimensionally interchangeable with the hardened variant of the same pitch.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Does a larger number of teeth always mean a longer service life for the sprocket?

Largely yes - the more teeth are engaged, the lower the load on each individual tooth, and the chain runs over a larger wrap angle, which reduces dynamic impacts. Very small sprockets (with fewer than fifteen or so teeth) wear the fastest and are best avoided if the drive design allows.

What happens when a sprocket operates under a greater load than intended?

Overloading first accelerates normal tooth wear, and with sudden overloads (e.g. machine blockage) the teeth may become permanently bent or sheared. In such cases, using an overload clutch in the system is often a better solution than choosing an oversized sprocket "just in case".

How does rotational speed affect the selection of the minimum number of teeth of a sprocket in the system?

At higher rotational speeds, a larger minimum number of teeth on the smallest sprocket in the system is recommended to reduce chain vibration and impacts resulting from the so-called polygon effect. With very small sprockets (e.g. 9-11 teeth) and high speeds, wear and vibration levels increase significantly faster than with larger sprockets.

In what cases are multi-strand sprockets used?

They are used to drive multi-strand chains in heavily loaded machines where there is no room for a wider sprocket with a larger pitch. Several strands distribute the load evenly, preventing premature chain breakage.

Where is this product used?

This type of sprocket is used in drives of agricultural and industrial machinery, including screw and bucket conveyors, feed conveyors, packaging machines and internal transport systems.
