Sprocket 32B-1 z=17 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 32B-1 z=17, with hub

Simplex sprocket 32B-1 with hub, 17 teeth - designed for chain with a pitch of 2" (50.8 mm). Compliance with DIN 8187 / ISO 606 guarantees full interchangeability with a chain of the same pitch; the sprocket is made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1) in a non-hardened version - the standard choice for applications with moderate and medium load.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How can you tell whether a sprocket is still fit for further service or already due for replacement?

It is worth checking the tooth profile for visible chipping or the characteristic "hooked" shape, and also measuring the pitch circle diameter and comparing it with the catalogue dimension of a new sprocket. If the difference is visually noticeable or the chain starts to "jump", the sprocket is due for replacement.

How can you check whether the chain in an existing drive is already excessively elongated (stretched)?

Stretch out a section of a dozen or so chain links and compare its length with the catalogue dimension - an elongation of more than approx. 2-3% means the chain is due for replacement. A stretched chain no longer seats properly on the sprocket teeth, which accelerates the wear of both components, so it is better to replace it before it damages the sprocket as well.

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.

How do I determine the centre distance between the driving and driven sprockets?

The centre distance should provide an adequate chain wrap angle on the smaller sprocket (usually a minimum of about 120°) and sufficient chain length so that the number of links is a whole number, preferably even. Too small a centre distance increases the meshing frequency and accelerates wear, while too large a one leads to excessive chain sag.

Where is this product used?

Typical applications of the 32B-1 sprocket: drives for pumps, mixers and industrial fans, as well as control systems for industrial gates and roller shutters, where resistance to continuous operation is required.
