Sprocket 16B-1 z=33 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 16B-1 z=33, with hub

Sprocket 16B-1 with hub, 33 teeth, simplex - a product matched to chain with a pitch of 25.4 mm (1"). The material is C45E carbon steel (EN 10083-1), and the teeth remain unhardened (without induction hardening) - in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606; this version is easier to machine over the entire depth of the sprocket.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Can a sprocket be reconditioned, e.g. by hardfacing worn teeth?

Technically, hardfacing and re-milling the teeth is possible, but in practice it is rarely cost-effective - the cost of reconditioning is often close to the price of a new sprocket, and restoring the full precision of the tooth profile requires specialist machining. In most cases, replacing it with a new sprocket is the quicker and safer solution.

How do you select a sprocket when the machine lacks space for a larger pitch?

In such a situation, a better solution than increasing the pitch is often to use a multi-strand chain and sprocket of the same (smaller) pitch - several strands together carry a greater load without increasing the sprocket diameter.

What forces act on the key in a sprocket and how can it be prevented from shearing?

The key transmits the entire shearing torque between the shaft and the sprocket. Make sure it is made of suitable quenched and tempered steel, has an accurate fit in the keyway and that the machine is not subjected to extreme jerks without an overload clutch.

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.

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.
