Sprocket 16B-3 z=37 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 16B-3 z=37, with hub

Sprocket 16B-3 (pitch 1" - 25.4 mm), triplex (three-strand), 37 teeth, with hub. 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

How do I determine the centre distance between the driving and driven sprockets?

The centre distance should provide an adequate chain wrap angle on the smaller sprocket (usually a minimum of about 120°) and sufficient chain length so that the number of links is a whole number, preferably even. Too small a centre distance increases the meshing frequency and accelerates wear, while too large a one leads to excessive chain sag.

When is it worth using a clamping bush (Taper Bush) for a sprocket?

Wherever fast assembly matters. A clamping bush eliminates the need for laborious boring of the hub and cutting of a keyway - you insert the sprocket, tighten the screws and the machine is back in operation within minutes.

Do I need to select dedicated bearings for a sprocket with hub?

A sprocket with hub mounted with a key does not require its own bearings - the load is carried by the bearings of the shaft on which the sprocket is mounted. A dedicated bearing built into the sprocket is only needed for tensioning or guide sprockets mounted on an axle without its own drive.

How long can a sprocket be kept in storage without losing its properties?

A properly preserved sprocket (dried, coated with grease or anti-corrosion oil, stored in a dry room) can be kept in storage for many years without any loss of its mechanical parameters. The only risk is surface corrosion due to improper storage - it does not affect the tooth geometry, but it is advisable to clean the sprocket and preserve it again before installation.

Where is this product used?

Typical applications of the 16B-3 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.
