Product Description

Sprocket 08B-3 z=8, with hub

Sprocket 08B-3 (pitch 1/2" - 12.7 mm), triplex (three-strand), 8 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

If I order today, when will I receive the product?

Information on the lead time is given next to the product's stock level, above the price. If the sprocket is available in the main warehouse, we ship it no later than the next working day.

When is it worth using a clamping bush (Taper Bush) for a sprocket?

Wherever fast assembly matters. A clamping bush eliminates the need for laborious boring of the hub and cutting of a keyway - you insert the sprocket, tighten the screws and the machine is back in operation within minutes.

How do you cut a keyway in the hub of a sprocket?

We cut keyways precisely on slotting machines according to DIN 6885. If you do it yourself, maintain axial alignment and the correct width and depth of the keyway so that the key sits securely and is not sheared off.

How can a sprocket and chain be protected against corrosion during storage?

After cleaning off any dirt, it is advisable to apply a layer of preservative grease or anti-corrosion oil and store the sprocket in a dry place not exposed to condensation. In the steel version (without coating), even a short damp break in the workshop can cause a rusty film on the tooth surfaces.

Where is this product used?
