Specifications for Machinable Bore Sprocket for ANSI 180 Roller Chain (2 1/4" Pitch)
A machinable bore sprocket is specifically designed for use with ANSI 180 roller chains, boasting a 2 1/4" pitch. This type of sprocket allows for customization of the bore to precisely fit different shaft sizes, ensuring a secure and efficient connection. Machinable bore sprockets offer versatility in various industrial applications, making them essential in transferring rotational motion effectively across machinery and equipment.
Basic structure and customization factors
When selecting a machinable bore sprocket, several key factors must be taken into account to ensure optimal performance:
- Material: The sprocket can be crafted from high carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, each offering unique benefits such as strength and resistance to corrosion.
- Tooth profile: The design of the tooth profile is crucial, as it affects how well the chain meshes with the sprocket, influencing efficiency and wear.
- Number of teeth: The number of teeth impacts the speed ratio, torque, and overall power transmission, which are vital for the functionality of machinery.
- Size: The physical dimensions must align with application requirements to ensure compatibility and effective operation.
- Center bore: This is a critical aspect because the bore size must match the shaft size accurately for proper installation and functionality.
- Keyway: If necessary, a keyway can be included to securely attach the sprocket to the shaft, preventing slippage during operation.
- Surface treatment: Treatments like rust prevention can enhance the durability of the sprocket, extending its service life.
Material and manufacturing process
Our machinable bore sprockets are produced using high-quality materials such as high carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel. The manufacturing process involves several stages: initial material selection, followed by cutting, stamping or forging, and machining processes such as turning, milling, and drilling. Heat treatment techniques, including quenching and tempering, strengthen the sprocket, while surface treatments enhance durability and resistance against rust. Finally, quality inspections are conducted to ensure every sprocket meets stringent performance standards.
