NK2060RB Double Pitch Sprocket
Specifications of NK2060RB Double Pitch Sprocket
The NK2060RB Double Pitch Sprocket is a specialized sprocket used in transmission systems. It features a double pitch design, which indicates that the spacing between its teeth is greater than that of standard sprockets. This distinctive design allows for enhanced operation and an increased load capacity.
Definition and Basic Structure
A double pitch sprocket is characterized by its teeth, which are spaced further apart than those of standard sprockets. It comprises a central hub and outward-extending teeth that are shaped to mesh effectively with the corresponding chain links, facilitating efficient power transmission.
Main Features of Double Pitch Sprocket
- Greater tooth spacing: The increased tooth spacing in double pitch sprockets promotes smoother engagement with the chain.
- Higher load capacity: The structure of double pitch sprockets allows for the handling of heavier loads in comparison to standard sprockets.
- Smooth operation: The larger spacing between teeth contributes to smoother operation, minimizing noise and vibration.
Material Selection for Double Pitch Sprocket
Double pitch sprockets can be constructed from a variety of materials based on the specific needs of the application:
- Carbon steel: Provides high strength and durability, making it suitable for most general applications.
- Alloy steel: Offers enhanced hardness and wear resistance, ideal for challenging industrial environments.
- Stainless steel: Known for its corrosion resistance, it is suitable for applications where cleanliness is essential.
Manufacturing Process of Double Pitch Sprocket
- Raw material preparation: Choosing the right material for the sprocket manufacturing process.
