Sprocket 28B-1 z=11 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 28B-1 z=11, with hub

Sprocket 28B-1 (pitch 1 3/4" - 44.45 mm), simplex, 11 teeth, with hub. As a European manufacturer, Ozdowski supplies the sprocket in C45E steel (EN 10083-1), in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 - a version without tooth hardening, cheaper than the hardened variant and sufficient for many typical industrial applications.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Is a sprocket with hub suitable for reversing drives (with a change of rotation direction)?

Yes, the tooth geometry of a sprocket is symmetrical and has no preferred direction of operation, so the sprocket can be used in drives that change direction of rotation. In such systems, correct chain tension on both sides is particularly important, because when reversing, each side alternately becomes the working side.

How do you correctly align sprockets during installation?

The driving and driven sprockets must be in one perfect line. You can use a long steel straightedge placed against the faces of both sprockets or a professional laser alignment tool. Even a slight angular deviation will quickly destroy the chain.

How can you recognise a sprocket not made in accordance with the DIN 8187 profile?

Most often it is visible from the incorrect seating of the chain on the teeth - the chain "sits" on the tooth tips or too deep in the tooth roots, despite the correct pitch. In that case, it is worth placing a section of a known reference chain of this pitch on the sprocket and checking whether it engages each tooth evenly and smoothly.

Can I replace a simplex sprocket with a duplex one without changing the other drive components?

No - switching to a duplex chain and sprocket requires replacing the entire set (the sprockets on both sides of the drive and the chain) with a duplex version of the same pitch, because the rim spacing and chain width differ from those of the simplex version.

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.
