Sprocket 10B-1 z=14 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 10B-1 z=14, with hub

Simplex sprocket 10B-1 with hub, 14 teeth - designed for chain with a pitch of 5/8" (15.88 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 a sprocket be reconditioned, e.g. by hardfacing worn teeth?

Technically, hardfacing and re-milling the teeth is possible, but in practice it is rarely cost-effective - the cost of reconditioning is often close to the price of a new sprocket, and restoring the full precision of the tooth profile requires specialist machining. In most cases, replacing it with a new sprocket is the quicker and safer solution.

When ordering several sprockets for one drive, do they have identical production parameters?

Sprockets of the same catalogue item are produced according to the same documentation and tolerances, so their parameters (pitch, number of teeth, dimensions) match each other regardless of when they were ordered. Any slight differences in the shade of the steel between production batches have no effect on how the sprocket works with the chain.

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.

How do you select a sprocket when the machine lacks space for a larger pitch?

In such a situation, a better solution than increasing the pitch is often to use a multi-strand chain and sprocket of the same (smaller) pitch - several strands together carry a greater load without increasing the sprocket diameter.

Where is this product used?

Typical applications of the 10B-1 sprocket: drives for pumps, mixers and industrial fans, as well as control systems for industrial gates and roller shutters, where resistance to continuous operation is required.
