Sprocket 10B-1 z=48 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 10B-1 z=48, with hub

The sprocket 10B-1 shown is a simplex sprocket with 48 teeth, made with a hub, for chain with a pitch of 5/8" / 15.88 mm. The sprocket complies with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 and is made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1); the teeth are not hardened, which lowers the cost of the sprocket and makes it easier to machine (e.g. deep boring of the hub) throughout the entire volume of the material.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace a simplex sprocket with a duplex one without changing the other drive components?

No - switching to a duplex chain and sprocket requires replacing the entire set (the sprockets on both sides of the drive and the chain) with a duplex version of the same pitch, because the rim spacing and chain width differ from those of the simplex version.

Do you offer sprockets made to custom dimensions, outside the catalogue?

Yes, in addition to catalogue items we also manufacture sprockets to individual drawings or customer requirements - please contact the sales department and provide the required parameters (pitch, number of teeth, hub dimensions, material).

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 is it worth considering a sprocket made of reinforced steel for heavy-duty operating conditions?

In heavy dust, with powerful jerks (e.g. in presses) and wherever a breakdown in the middle of the season is not an option, sprockets made of higher-strength quenching and tempering steel or a variant with hardened teeth are often a good solution - it is worth consulting the supplier in the case of unusual operating conditions.

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.
