Sprocket 32B-3 z=76 with hub

Product Description

Sprocket 32B-3 z=76, with hub

Sprocket 32B-3 (pitch 2" - 50.8 mm), triplex (three-strand), 76 teeth, with hub. 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 recognise an idler sprocket bearing that is starting to wear before it fails?

The first symptom is usually increased noise and noticeable, excessive play of the sprocket when it is moved by hand with the machine stopped. It is also worth periodically checking the temperature of the bearing housing during operation - an increase compared with other bearings in the system signals progressive wear.

How does a sprocket differ from a module spur gear?

A sprocket works with a roller chain and has a tooth profile matched to the chain rollers (standard DIN 8187/ISO 606), whereas a module spur gear meshes directly with another gear or a gear rack, has an involute tooth profile and parameters described by the module (standard DIN 780/ISO 54). These are two different power transmission systems, not interchangeable with each other.

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.

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.

Where is this product used?

32B-3 sprockets are used in industrial drive transmissions: conveyors, feeders, packaging machines and production lines where precise, repeatable torque transmission matters.

When placing your order, please check the current stock level of this gear - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in the given warehouse.
