Sprocket 16B-2 z=18 for Taper-Lock bush 2517 hardened

Product Description

Sprocket 16B-2 z=18 for Taper-Lock bush 2517 hardened fits 16B-2 roller chain (European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606), double-strand (duplex), with a pitch of 25.4 mm (1"). It has 18 teeth and is made of C45 steel. The sprocket is hardened, which increases the wear resistance of the teeth.

The sprocket has a seat for a Taper-Lock 2517 clamping bush, so it can be mounted on the shaft without boring the hole or cutting a keyway in the sprocket - simply choose a 2517 bush with a bore that matches the shaft. The bush is not included - the 2517 bush can be purchased separately from our range.

Applications

It is designed for heavy-duty drives: aggregate conveyors, construction machinery and mining equipment. The double-strand version carries higher loads than a single-strand one of the same pitch.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does this sprocket fit?

16B-2 roller chain to European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606, with a pitch of 25.4 mm. A duplex sprocket requires a double-strand (duplex) chain.

Does it fit ASA 80 chain?

No. ASA 80 chain (American standard) has the same pitch and roller diameter, but a different inner width (15.88 mm instead of 17.02 mm). The 16B sprocket is designed for European-standard chain, so the two systems should not be mixed.

Is this sprocket available in another version?

Yes. Also available: Sprocket 16B-2 z=18 for Taper-Lock bush 2517.

Can a new chain be fitted on a worn sprocket?

This should not be done. A worn sprocket has a changed tooth profile, so a new chain runs unevenly and elongates quickly. The rule is: new chain - new sprockets.

When are multi-strand sprockets used?

Double- and triple-strand sprockets work with multi-strand chains in heavily loaded drives where there is no room for a chain with a larger pitch. Several strands share the load evenly, which reduces wear and the risk of chain breakage.

What does the lead time depend on?

When ordering, please check the current stock level of this sprocket - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in each warehouse. The stock level is shown above the product price and may vary depending on the warehouse.
