#200 2-1/2″ Pitch QD Sprocket

#200 2-1/2" Pitch QD Sprocket Specifications

QD Sprocket No.200 Single Type is a widely utilized chain sprocket in power transmission systems. It operates on the principle of transmitting power from one shaft to another through a chain. The sprocket features teeth that align with the chain's pitch, enabling it to rotate and transfer power effectively to the driven shaft.

Definition and Basic Structure of QD Sprocket

A QD sprocket is a chain sprocket characterized by a tapered bushing, which includes an internal keyway, allowing for quick and simple mounting or dismounting from the shaft without additional tools. The fundamental components of a QD sprocket include the sprocket wheel, hub, and bushing. The sprocket wheel features teeth that align with the chain's pitch, while the hub secures the sprocket, and the bushing connects the sprocket to the shaft.

Features and Functions of QD Bushing

QD bushing provides several benefits that contribute to its popularity in power transmission applications:

• Easy to install: The bushing can be quickly mounted or dismounted from the shaft without the need for additional tools.
• High load capacity: It can accommodate high torque and radial loads.
• Standardized design: The bushing adheres to industry standards, facilitating easy replacement and interchangeability.
• Compact design: Its small and lightweight nature makes it suitable for confined spaces.
• Low maintenance cost: It requires minimal maintenance, reducing overall costs.

Installation and Removal Process of QD Bushing

To install and remove a QD bushing, follow these steps:

1. Prepare tools and materials: You will need a hammer, a torque wrench, a puller, and the appropriate bushing and sprocket.
2. Clean shaft and sprocket surface: Remove any dirt or debris from both surfaces.
3. Position sprocket: Slide the sprocket onto the shaft and place it in the desired position.
4. Install QD bushing: Slide the QD bushing onto the shaft, ensuring the internal keyway engages with the shaft key.
5. Secure sprocket: Tighten the set screws on the sprocket hub to secure it to the bushing.
6. Check: Ensure that the sprocket is correctly aligned and the bushing is firmly mounted.

Manufacturing Process of QD Sprocket

The process of manufacturing a QD sprocket typically includes the following steps:

• Raw material preparation: Steel is selected and prepared for processing.
• Cutting
