Product Description

Sprocket 10B-1 z=10, hardened hub

Sprocket 10B-1, simplex, with 10 teeth and a hardened hub - pitch 5/8" (15.875 mm). As a European manufacturer, Ozdowski supplies the sprocket in C45E steel (EN 10083-1), in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 - the teeth are induction hardened (45-55 HRC), while the hub remains soft and easy to machine.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

What forces act on the key in a sprocket and how can it be prevented from shearing?

The key transmits the entire shearing torque between the shaft and the sprocket. Make sure it is made of suitable quenched and tempered steel, has an accurate fit in the keyway and that the machine is not subjected to extreme jerks without an overload clutch.

How does a hardness of around 45-55 HRC on the teeth extend the service life of the sprocket-chain system?

A hardness of 45-55 HRC matched to the hardened chain rollers is the optimal combination. The sprocket and chain wear slowly and evenly, and the sprocket does not turn into a "blade" that could shear the chain during operation.

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 does induction hardening of the teeth affect abrasion resistance?

Induction hardening hardens only the surface layer of the tooth, where the chain rollers bear. The tooth is resistant to wear, while the sprocket core and hub remain elastic enough to safely absorb impacts and be suitable for boring.

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.
