Product Description

Sprocket 08B-3 z=27, with hub

Triplex (three-strand) sprocket 08B-3 with hub, 27 teeth - designed for chain with a pitch of 1/2" (12.7 mm). The material is C45E carbon steel (EN 10083-1), and the teeth remain unhardened (without induction hardening) - in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606; this version is easier to machine over the entire depth of the sprocket.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Can material documentation (certificate) for the sprocket be included with the order?

Material documentation is not sent automatically with standard catalogue orders, but if it is needed (e.g. for the machine's technical documentation), please notify the sales department when placing the order.

Can the hub of a sprocket have a different hardness from the toothed rim?

Yes, and in practice this is usually the case - in the version with induction-hardened teeth, only the toothed rim is hardened, while the hub remains soft so that it can be freely turned and a keyway can be cut in it. This solution combines tooth wear resistance with ease of machining the hub.

Can a sprocket with a technological bore be installed without additional machining?

No - the technological bore is deliberately too small to fit a typical shaft. It must be bored on a lathe to the required diameter and, if necessary, a keyway cut according to the requirements of the specific machine.

Do I need to select dedicated bearings for a sprocket with hub?

A sprocket with hub mounted with a key does not require its own bearings - the load is carried by the bearings of the shaft on which the sprocket is mounted. A dedicated bearing built into the sprocket is only needed for tensioning or guide sprockets mounted on an axle without its own drive.

Where is this product used?

Applications include drives in the food industry, packaging machines, sorting lines and agricultural harvesting machines, where the sprocket operates seasonally but under full load.

When placing your order, please check the current stock level of this gear - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in the given warehouse.
