Technical data

Frequently asked questions

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 do I select a sprocket for a roller chain?

The selected sprocket must match the chain parameters exactly. Pay attention to three things: the standard (European B series), the pitch and the number of strands. The sprocket must have a tooth profile compliant with DIN 8187 so that the chain enters the tooth root smoothly without jamming.

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.

Is a sprocket with hub suitable for reversing drives (with a change of rotation direction)?

Yes, the tooth geometry of a sprocket is symmetrical and has no preferred direction of operation, so the sprocket can be used in drives that change direction of rotation. In such systems, correct chain tension on both sides is particularly important, because when reversing, each side alternately becomes the working side.

Where is this product used?

This type of sprocket is used in drives of agricultural and industrial machinery, including screw and bucket conveyors, feed conveyors, packaging machines and internal transport systems.

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.
