Sprocket 32B-3 (2") z=12 with hub, steel

Product Description

Sprocket 32B-3 (2") z=12 with hub, steel fits 32B-3 roller chain (European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606), triple-strand (triplex), with a pitch of 50.8 mm (2"). It has 12 teeth and is made of structural steel.

The sprocket has a one-sided hub with a diameter of 133 mm, welded to the plate, and a pilot bore of Ø30 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 180 mm.

Technical data

Applications

It works well in high-power agricultural machinery, presses and feeder drives in processing plants. The triple-strand version is chosen for very heavily loaded drives where there is no room for a chain with a larger pitch.

Frequently asked questions

Which chain does the 32B-3 z=12 sprocket fit?

32B-3 roller chain to European standard DIN 8187 / ISO 606, with a pitch of 50.8 mm. A triplex sprocket requires a triple-strand (triplex) chain.

Does it fit ASA 160 chain?

No. ASA 160 chain (American standard) has the same pitch, but a different roller diameter (28.58 mm instead of 29.21 mm) and a different inner width (31.75 mm instead of 30.99 mm). The 32B sprocket is designed for European-standard chain, so the two systems should not be mixed.

What causes wear on the sides of the teeth?

Most often misaligned sprockets. The chain does not run straight and its plates rub against the sides of the teeth. In this case the sprockets must be realigned in one plane.

How do I check sprocket run-out after installation?

A dial indicator on a magnetic stand is used. Place the tip against the rim or side of the sprocket and turn the shaft, reading the deviations. Excessive run-out usually means a crooked bore or a damaged shaft.

How does tooth wear affect machine operation?

Worn teeth make the chain engage the sprocket unevenly and abruptly. This causes vibrations that are passed on to shafts and bearings and accelerate wear of the whole drive.

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.
