Sprocket 10B-1 z=38 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 10B-1 z=38, with hub

Sprocket 10B-1 (pitch 5/8" - 15.88 mm), simplex, 38 teeth, with hub. Compliance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 guarantees full interchangeability with a chain of the same pitch; the sprocket is made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1) in a non-hardened version - the standard choice for applications with moderate and medium load.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How does one duplex sprocket differ from two independent simplex sprockets on a common shaft?

A duplex sprocket is a single, monolithic toothed rim serving a duplex chain, in which both strands are mechanically integrated in one component. Two independent simplex sprockets on a common shaft serve two completely separate simplex chains - these solutions are not interchangeable without changing the chain type.

Is a sprocket with hub suitable for reversing drives (with a change of rotation direction)?

Yes, the tooth geometry of a sprocket is symmetrical and has no preferred direction of operation, so the sprocket can be used in drives that change direction of rotation. In such systems, correct chain tension on both sides is particularly important, because when reversing, each side alternately becomes the working side.

Can a new chain be fitted on an old, worn sprocket?

Never do this. An old, deformed sprocket has altered tooth geometry and will force drastic mechanical stretching on the new chain. The rule is "new chain - new sprocket" - only then will the drive achieve maximum service life.

Will a sprocket from another manufacturer work properly with the chain I already have?

If the sprocket is made to the same standard (DIN 8187/ISO 606) and has the same pitch and number of strands, it should work properly with a chain of another brand - that is the purpose of standardisation in this industry. However, differences between manufacturers may concern, for example, hub dimensions or material, so these parameters are worth checking separately.

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.
