Sprocket 16B-1 z=11 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 16B-1 z=11, with hub

The sprocket 16B-1 shown is a simplex sprocket with 11 teeth, made with a hub, for chain with a pitch of 1" / 25.4 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

How does material quality prevent the teeth from "shearing" during sudden machine jerks?

Soft, uncertified sheet metal deforms under a sudden jerk - the teeth bend over. Steel from a certified melt, correctly heat-treated, has a high yield strength and withstands a torque surge without permanent deformation.

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.

If I order today, when will I receive the product?

Information on the lead time is given next to the product's stock level, above the price. If the sprocket is available in the main warehouse, we ship it no later than the next working day.

Do I need to select dedicated bearings for a sprocket with hub?

A sprocket with hub mounted with a key does not require its own bearings - the load is carried by the bearings of the shaft on which the sprocket is mounted. A dedicated bearing built into the sprocket is only needed for tensioning or guide sprockets mounted on an axle without its own drive.

Where is this product used?

16B-1 sprockets are used in industrial drive transmissions: conveyors, feeders, packaging machines and production lines where precise, repeatable torque transmission matters.

When placing your order, please check the current stock level of this gear - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in the given warehouse.
