Sprocket 16B-3 z=9 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 16B-3 z=9, with hub

Sprocket 16B-3 with hub, 9 teeth, triplex (three-strand) - a product matched to chain with a pitch of 25.4 mm (1"). Manufactured in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 from C45E structural steel (EN 10083-1), without tooth hardening - as a Polish manufacturer, Ozdowski supplies an economical version that is fully dimensionally interchangeable with the hardened variant of the same pitch.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How does a sprocket differ from a module spur gear?

A sprocket works with a roller chain and has a tooth profile matched to the chain rollers (standard DIN 8187/ISO 606), whereas a module spur gear meshes directly with another gear or a gear rack, has an involute tooth profile and parameters described by the module (standard DIN 780/ISO 54). These are two different power transmission systems, not interchangeable with each other.

How do you select the number of teeth on the driving and driven sprockets to obtain the required ratio?

The ratio is calculated as the quotient of the number of teeth on the driven sprocket and the number of teeth on the driving sprocket. For example, to halve the rotational speed, the driven sprocket should have twice as many teeth as the driving sprocket - both sprockets must have the same pitch and number of strands.

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.

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.

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.
