Sprocket 10B-3 (5/8") z=41 plate wheel, C45 steel

Product Description

Sprocket 10B-3 (5/8") z=41 plate wheel, C45 steel is designed for 10B-3 roller chain (European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606), triple-strand (triplex), with a pitch of 15.875 mm (5/8"). It has 41 teeth and is made of C45 steel.

The plate wheel has a pilot bore of Ø25 mm. It can be bolted or welded to your own hub, flange or drum, which makes it a good choice for larger ratios and non-standard designs.

Technical data

Applications

It is used in agricultural machinery, including seed drills, spreaders and grain conveyors. The triple-strand version is chosen for very heavily loaded drives where there is no room for a chain with a larger pitch. Plate wheels are often mounted on drums and flanges and in large reduction gears.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does the 10B-3 z=41 sprocket fit?

10B-3 roller chain to European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606, with a pitch of 15.875 mm. A triplex sprocket requires a triple-strand (triplex) chain.

Does it fit ASA 50 chain?

No. ASA 50 chain (American standard) has the same pitch and roller diameter, but a different inner width (9.52 mm instead of 9.65 mm). The 10B sprocket is designed for European-standard chain, so the two systems should not be mixed.

What causes wear on the sides of the teeth?

Most often misaligned sprockets. The chain does not run straight and its plates rub against the sides of the teeth. In this case the sprockets must be realigned in one plane.

How do I check sprocket run-out after installation?

A dial indicator on a magnetic stand is used. Place the tip against the rim or side of the sprocket and turn the shaft, reading the deviations. Excessive run-out usually means a crooked bore or a damaged shaft.

How does tooth wear affect machine operation?

Worn teeth make the chain engage the sprocket unevenly and abruptly. This causes vibrations that are passed on to shafts and bearings and accelerate wear of the whole drive.

What does the lead time depend on?

When ordering, please check the current stock level of this sprocket - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in each warehouse. The stock level is shown above the product price and may vary depending on the warehouse.
