Sprocket 10B-1 z=42 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 10B-1 z=42, with hub

Sprocket 10B-1 with hub, 42 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 is the relationship between the number of teeth of a sprocket and the rotational speed of the drive?

This is the basic principle of the transmission ratio. If there is a small sprocket on the motor (drive) and a large one on the machine, the machine will turn more slowly but gain proportionally greater torque (force).

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.

Is it possible to order a single trial piece of the sprocket before placing a larger order?

Yes, catalogue items can be ordered in any quantity, including a single piece for testing or verification before a larger series order.

What does the marking "z=X" on a sprocket mean and why is it so important when ordering?

"z" is the number of teeth of the sprocket - together with the pitch and the number of chain strands, it unambiguously defines the sprocket geometry (pitch circle and outside diameter). Ordering a sprocket with the wrong "z" usually means that it will not work correctly with the second sprocket already in the machine, and a different transmission ratio than intended will result.

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.
