Sprocket 28B-1 z=17 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 28B-1 z=17, with hub

Sprocket 28B-1 with hub, 17 teeth, simplex - a product matched to chain with a pitch of 44.45 mm (1 3/4"). The material is C45E carbon steel (EN 10083-1), and the teeth remain unhardened (without induction hardening) - in accordance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606; this version is easier to machine over the entire depth of the sprocket.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

When ordering several sprockets for one drive, do they have identical production parameters?

Sprockets of the same catalogue item are produced according to the same documentation and tolerances, so their parameters (pitch, number of teeth, dimensions) match each other regardless of when they were ordered. Any slight differences in the shade of the steel between production batches have no effect on how the sprocket works with the chain.

What should be considered when selecting a sprocket for low-temperature operation?

At low temperatures, carbon steel becomes more susceptible to brittle fracture under impact, so in cold stores and freezers it is worth considering a variant with increased impact strength or consulting the supplier on the choice of material. Equally important is the choice of a lubricant that will not thicken or lose its lubricating properties at low temperature.

How long can a sprocket be kept in storage without losing its properties?

A properly preserved sprocket (dried, coated with grease or anti-corrosion oil, stored in a dry room) can be kept in storage for many years without any loss of its mechanical parameters. The only risk is surface corrosion due to improper storage - it does not affect the tooth geometry, but it is advisable to clean the sprocket and preserve it again before installation.

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.

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.
