Sprocket 24B-1 z=9 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 24B-1 z=9, with hub

Sprocket 24B-1 with hub, 9 teeth, simplex - a product matched to chain with a pitch of 38.1 mm (1 1/2"). 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

How does material quality prevent the teeth from "shearing" during sudden machine jerks?

Soft, uncertified sheet metal deforms under a sudden jerk - the teeth bend over. Steel from a certified melt, correctly heat-treated, has a high yield strength and withstands a torque surge without permanent deformation.

What does the marking "z=X" on a sprocket mean and why is it so important when ordering?

"z" is the number of teeth of the sprocket - together with the pitch and the number of chain strands, it unambiguously defines the sprocket geometry (pitch circle and outside diameter). Ordering a sprocket with the wrong "z" usually means that it will not work correctly with the second sprocket already in the machine, and a different transmission ratio than intended will result.

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?

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.
