Product Description

Sprocket 16B-3 z=14, with hub

Sprocket 16B-3 (pitch 1" - 25.4 mm), triplex (three-strand), 14 teeth, with hub. As a European manufacturer, Ozdowski supplies the sprocket in C45E steel (EN 10083-1), in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 - a version without tooth hardening, cheaper than the hardened variant and sufficient for many typical industrial applications.

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.

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).

What does the marking "z=X" on a sprocket mean and why is it so important when ordering?

"z" is the number of teeth of the sprocket - together with the pitch and the number of chain strands, it unambiguously defines the sprocket geometry (pitch circle and outside diameter). Ordering a sprocket with the wrong "z" usually means that it will not work correctly with the second sprocket already in the machine, and a different transmission ratio than intended will result.

What is the standard procedure for submitting a complaint about a sprocket?

It is advisable to contact customer service, providing the product code, order number, and a description and photos of the observed defect - this makes it possible to quickly assess whether the complaint is justified and to propose further steps.

Where is this product used?

Applications include drives in the food industry, packaging machines, sorting lines and agricultural harvesting machines, where the sprocket operates seasonally but under full load.
