Product Description

Sprocket 12B-1 z=33, with hub

The sprocket 12B-1 shown is a simplex sprocket with 33 teeth, made with a hub, for chain with a pitch of 3/4" / 19.05 mm. Manufactured in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 from C45E structural steel (EN 10083-1), without tooth hardening - as a Polish manufacturer, Ozdowski supplies an economical version that is fully dimensionally interchangeable with the hardened variant of the same pitch.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How can a sprocket and chain be protected against corrosion during storage?

After cleaning off any dirt, it is advisable to apply a layer of preservative grease or anti-corrosion oil and store the sprocket in a dry place not exposed to condensation. In the steel version (without coating), even a short damp break in the workshop can cause a rusty film on the tooth surfaces.

How do sprockets for roller chains differ from sprockets for toothed chains (silent chain)?

A sprocket for roller chain has a rounded tooth root matched to the chain roller (profile according to DIN 8187), whereas a sprocket for toothed chain (silent chain) has a flat, trapezoidal tooth profile that engages the chain plates instead of rollers. These two systems are not interchangeable.

How should a chain drive be lubricated to extend its service life?

The lubricant should get between the rollers and plates of the chain, not just onto its outer surface - it is best applied to the lower (slack) part of the chain, just before it runs onto the sprocket. In a dusty environment, a thick grease works better, while at high speeds a lower-viscosity oil that penetrates the joints more easily is preferable.

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.

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.
