Product Description

Sprocket 28B-2 (1 3/4") z=12 with hub, C45 steel works with 28B-2 roller chain (European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606), double-strand (duplex), with a pitch of 44.45 mm (1 3/4"). It has 12 teeth and is made of C45 steel.

The sprocket has a one-sided hub with a diameter of 125 mm and a pilot bore of Ø25 mm, which is bored to the shaft size and completed with a keyway or a set screw hole. The total width of the sprocket is 120 mm.

Technical data

Applications

It is used in sawmills, cement plants and bulk material handling lines. The double-strand version carries higher loads than a single-strand one of the same pitch.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does the 28B-2 z=12 sprocket fit?

28B-2 roller chain to European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606, with a pitch of 44.45 mm. A duplex sprocket requires a double-strand (duplex) chain.

Does it fit ASA 140 chain?

No. ASA 140 chain (American standard) has the same pitch, but a different roller diameter (25.4 mm instead of 27.94 mm) and a different inner width (25.4 mm instead of 30.99 mm). The 28B sprocket is designed for European-standard chain, so the two systems should not be mixed.

How do I check the pitch of a sprocket?

The sprocket pitch matches the chain pitch - it is the distance between the centres of adjacent teeth measured on the pitch circle. The easiest way to check it is to place a section of matching chain on the sprocket: it should sit on the teeth without tension. This sprocket has a pitch of 44.45 mm (1 3/4").

How is the pitch diameter of a sprocket calculated?

The pitch diameter Dp is the circle along which the chain rollers travel. It is calculated with the formula: pitch divided by the sine of (180° / number of teeth). For this sprocket it is 171.74 mm, and the outside diameter De is 189.3 mm.

When should I choose a sprocket with hub and when a plate wheel?

A sprocket with hub is chosen when it transmits torque directly from the shaft via a key - the hub provides a longer contact surface with the shaft and a more stable fit. Plate wheels are used mainly when the wheel is fixed to an existing flange or drum, or when there is little space on the shaft.

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.
