Sprocket 12B-3 z=12 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 12B-3 z=12, with hub

Sprocket 12B-3 with hub, 12 teeth, triplex (three-strand) - a product matched to chain with a pitch of 19.05 mm (3/4"). 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

When ordering several sprockets for one drive, do they have identical production parameters?

Sprockets of the same catalogue item are produced according to the same documentation and tolerances, so their parameters (pitch, number of teeth, dimensions) match each other regardless of when they were ordered. Any slight differences in the shade of the steel between production batches have no effect on how the sprocket works with the chain.

Does the machine's operating temperature matter when choosing the sprocket material?

Yes - at very low or very high temperatures the mechanical properties of steel or cast iron change, and lubricants may change viscosity or thicken. Under unusual thermal conditions (cold stores, furnaces, dryers), it is advisable to consult the supplier before selecting a specific material variant.

How often should chain tension be checked on a machine in operation?

In machines operating continuously, it is advisable to check the tension every few weeks, and in a newly installed drive - as early as after the first hours of operation, when the chain "beds in". A correctly tensioned chain has a slight, visible sag on the slack side - too tight a chain accelerates bearing wear, while too loose a chain increases the risk of it jumping off the sprocket.

What is a technological bore in a sprocket and why is it left?

We manufacture sprockets with hub with a small, so-called pilot (preliminary) bore. We leave it deliberately so that the customer (or workshop) can bore it precisely to the exact shaft size of their machine.

Where is this product used?

12B-3 sprockets are used in industrial drive transmissions: conveyors, feeders, packaging machines and production lines where precise, repeatable torque transmission matters.
