Sprocket 08B-1 z=125 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 08B-1 z=125, with hub

Sprocket 08B-1, simplex, with 125 teeth and a hub - pitch 1/2" (12.7 mm). As a European manufacturer, Ozdowski supplies the sprocket in C45E steel (EN 10083-1), in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 - a version without tooth hardening, cheaper than the hardened variant and sufficient for many typical industrial applications.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How can you check that the sprocket meshes correctly with the chain when the machine is started for the first time?

At low speed (e.g. turning the shaft by hand), it is worth observing whether the chain enters and leaves the teeth smoothly around the entire circumference of the sprocket, without catching or jumping. Any irregularities in operation at this stage usually indicate an alignment error rather than a defect in the sprocket itself.

Does the difference in hardness between sprocket and chain affect their rate of wear?

Yes - chain and sprocket manufacturers select hardness so that they wear as evenly as possible, rather than one element "cutting down" the other. An excessively hard sprocket working with a soft, non-certified chain (or vice versa) leads to faster wear of the weaker element.

How do I check the radial and axial runout of a sprocket after mounting it on the shaft?

A dial indicator on a magnetic stand is used for the measurement. Place the tip against the circumference of the sprocket or its side face, rotate the shaft and check the deviations. Excessive runout indicates faulty installation or a damaged shaft.

Do a newly fitted chain and sprocket require running-in after installation?

After installation, it is worth running the drive for a while without full load, observing the smoothness of operation and the bearing temperature - this allows installation errors (e.g. misalignment) to be detected before full load is applied. The tooth profile of the sprocket itself does not require running-in if the sprocket and chain have matching pitch and are made in accordance with the standard.

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.
