Applications

It is used in sawmills, cement plants and bulk material handling lines. The triple-strand version is chosen for very heavily loaded drives where there is no room for a chain with a larger pitch.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does the 20B-3 z=27 sprocket fit?

20B-3 roller chain to European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606, with a pitch of 31.75 mm. A triplex sprocket requires a triple-strand (triplex) chain.

Does it fit ASA 100 chain?

No. ASA 100 chain (American standard) has the same pitch and roller diameter, but a different inner width (19.05 mm instead of 19.56 mm). The 20B sprocket is designed for European-standard chain, so the two systems should not be mixed.

How should sprockets be aligned during installation?

The driving and driven sprockets must lie in one plane. Alignment can be checked with a long steel straightedge placed against the sides of both wheels or with a laser alignment tool. Even a small misalignment wears the sides of the teeth and speeds up chain wear.

When does a sprocket need replacing?

It should be replaced when the teeth start to look like pointed shark fins or are clearly bent to one side. Running on such a profile quickly destroys even a new chain, so a worn sprocket must be replaced.

Can a new chain be fitted on a worn sprocket?

This should not be done. A worn sprocket has a changed tooth profile, so a new chain runs unevenly and elongates quickly. The rule is: new chain - new sprockets.

What does the lead time depend on?

When ordering, please check the current stock level of this sprocket - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in each warehouse. The stock level is shown above the product price and may vary depending on the warehouse.
