Technical data

Applications

It works well in roller and belt conveyor drives and on packaging lines. The double-strand version carries higher loads than a single-strand one of the same pitch, so it is chosen where there is no room for a chain with a larger pitch.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does this sprocket fit?

ASA 60-2 (12A-2) roller chain with a pitch of 19.05 mm. A duplex sprocket requires a double-strand (duplex) chain.

Does it fit 12B chain?

No. 12B chain (European standard) has the same pitch, but a different roller diameter (12.07 mm instead of 11.91 mm) and a different inner width (11.68 mm instead of 12.7 mm). The ASA 60 sprocket is designed for American-standard chain, so the two systems should not be mixed.

Can a new chain be fitted on a worn sprocket?

This should not be done. A worn sprocket has a changed tooth profile, so a new chain runs unevenly and elongates quickly. The rule is: new chain - new sprockets.

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.

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.
