Specifications: Metric Bore Sprocket for ISO 081B Roller Chain (12.7mm Pitch)
A metric bore sprocket is specifically designed to accommodate ISO 081B roller chains with a pitch of 12.7mm. These sprockets feature a pre-bored hole that allows for easy integration onto various shaft sizes. Their versatility makes them ideal in diverse applications such as conveyor systems and power transmission setups, providing reliable performance across different industrial sectors.
Basic Structure of Sprocket and Customization
The sprocket comprises a circular wheel with protruding teeth arranged around its edge, which engage with a chain or belt. This design enables the sprocket to grip the chain securely, facilitating efficient motion transfer. Customizing a sprocket involves several key considerations:
- Material: We use high carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, each offering distinct advantages tailored to specific operational demands.
- Tooth Shape: The configuration of the teeth must be compatible with the chain type to ensure optimal engagement and functionality.
- Number of Teeth: The tooth count dictates the speed ratio between the driving and driven components, making it crucial for achieving desired performance metrics.
- Dimensions: Sprocket dimensions are tailored to match the technical requirements of the application and corresponding shaft size.
- Bore Size: Accurate bore sizing is essential for a secure fit on the shaft, minimizing wear and misalignment.
- Keyway: A keyway slot on the bore prevents the sprocket from slipping during operation.
- Surface Treatment: Custom surface treatments can enhance properties such as corrosion resistance and wear longevity, depending on the operational environment.
Material and Manufacturing Process of Our Sprockets
At GBC – Ever-power Australia Agency, we prioritize quality in both materials and manufacturing processes to produce durable sprockets. Our manufacturing stages include careful material selection, precise cutting, stamping or forging, machining, and rigorous heat treatment processes designed to enhance strength and durability.

- Stamping or Forging: This process shapes the teeth and hub, creating robust structural integrity.
- Machining: Sprocket teeth and bore dimensions are finely tuned using precision equipment.
- Heat Treatment: Strength and wear resistance are significantly improved through controlled heat treatments, including processes like quenching and tempering.
- Surface Hardening: Techniques such as carburizing are employed to enhance surface durability further.
- Surface Treatment: We offer various coatings to boost corrosion resistance and improve operational efficiency.
- Quality Inspection: Our sprockets undergo stringent quality checks to ensure they meet both customer expectations and industry standards.
Applications of Metric Bore Sprocket
Metric bore sprockets find application across an extensive array of industries, including machinery, food processing, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and warehousing. Their reliability and adaptability make them essential components in systems requiring efficient motion transfer.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of sprockets. Maintenance tasks should include daily checks for wear, cleaning, lubrication, and appropriate adjustments. Common issues with sprockets may involve tooth skipping, wear, or excessive noise. To address these, adjustments in chain tension, the replacement of faulty components, and realignment can be effective solutions.
