Sprocket 16B-1 z=13 with hub, hardened

Product Description

Sprocket 16B-1 z=13, hardened hub

Sprocket 16B-1, simplex, with 13 teeth and a hardened hub - pitch 1" (25.4 mm). Made in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606, from C45E steel (EN 10083-1), with teeth induction hardened to 45-55 HRC - as a Polish manufacturer, Ozdowski ensures that the hub remains soft and suitable for turning.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

What causes premature wear of the side faces of the teeth?

This is most often the result of misalignment of the sprockets on the shafts (so-called lateral runout of the drive). The chain does not run straight, and its inner plates catch on the sides of the teeth, wearing them down to bare metal. The system must be realigned immediately.

What is the set screw hole in the hub for?

The threaded hole in the hub is used to screw in a headless screw (a so-called grub screw). It secures the sprocket against axial displacement along the shaft during machine vibration.

What is the relationship between the number of teeth of a sprocket and the rotational speed of the drive?

This is the basic principle of the transmission ratio. If there is a small sprocket on the motor (drive) and a large one on the machine, the machine will turn more slowly but gain proportionally greater torque (force).

How does induction hardening of the teeth affect abrasion resistance?

Induction hardening hardens only the surface layer of the tooth, where the chain rollers bear. The tooth is resistant to wear, while the sprocket core and hub remain elastic enough to safely absorb impacts and be suitable for boring.

Where is this product used?

Typical applications of the 16B-1 sprocket: drives for pumps, mixers and industrial fans, as well as control systems for industrial gates and roller shutters, where resistance to continuous operation is required.
