Sprocket 20B-1 z=8 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 20B-1 z=8, with hub

Sprocket 20B-1 (pitch 1 1/4" - 31.75 mm), simplex, 8 teeth, with hub. The sprocket complies with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 and is made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1); the teeth are not hardened, which lowers the cost of the sprocket and makes it easier to machine (e.g. deep boring of the hub) throughout the entire volume of the material.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

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.

Can a sprocket be reconditioned, e.g. by hardfacing worn teeth?

Technically, hardfacing and re-milling the teeth is possible, but in practice it is rarely cost-effective - the cost of reconditioning is often close to the price of a new sprocket, and restoring the full precision of the tooth profile requires specialist machining. In most cases, replacing it with a new sprocket is the quicker and safer solution.

Does the difference in hardness between sprocket and chain affect their rate of wear?

Yes - chain and sprocket manufacturers select hardness so that they wear as evenly as possible, rather than one element "cutting down" the other. An excessively hard sprocket working with a soft, non-certified chain (or vice versa) leads to faster wear of the weaker element.

Can material documentation (certificate) for the sprocket be included with the order?

Material documentation is not sent automatically with standard catalogue orders, but if it is needed (e.g. for the machine's technical documentation), please notify the sales department when placing the order.

Where is this product used?

20B-1 sprockets operate in drives of construction machinery, goods lifts, aggregate conveyors and woodworking machines - wherever tooth durability under load matters.

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.
