Sprocket 10B-1 z=32 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 10B-1 z=32, with hub

Sprocket 10B-1 with hub, 32 teeth, simplex - a product matched to chain with a pitch of 15.88 mm (5/8"). 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

What does uneven, one-sided wear of the sprocket teeth indicate?

This usually indicates misalignment between the driving and driven sprockets or that the chain is skewed relative to the sprocket. It is worth checking the alignment of both sprockets and the condition of the shaft bearings - over time, one-sided wear causes the chain to jump off the tooth.

How can you recognise an idler sprocket bearing that is starting to wear before it fails?

The first symptom is usually increased noise and noticeable, excessive play of the sprocket when it is moved by hand with the machine stopped. It is also worth periodically checking the temperature of the bearing housing during operation - an increase compared with other bearings in the system signals progressive wear.

How can you tell whether a sprocket is still fit for further service or already due for replacement?

It is worth checking the tooth profile for visible chipping or the characteristic "hooked" shape, and also measuring the pitch circle diameter and comparing it with the catalogue dimension of a new sprocket. If the difference is visually noticeable or the chain starts to "jump", the sprocket is due for replacement.

What is the set screw hole in the hub for?

The threaded hole in the hub is used to screw in a headless screw (a so-called grub screw). It secures the sprocket against axial displacement along the shaft during machine vibration.

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.
