Specifications for Metric Bore Sprocket for ISO 10B Roller Chain (15.875mm Pitch)

Sprocket Selection Table

A metric bore sprocket is specifically designed for use with ISO 10B roller chains, which have a pitch of 15.875mm. This type of sprocket is essential in many industrial applications, providing a reliable means of power transfer between rotating shafts. Its design ensures compatibility with standardized roller chains, making it a crucial component in various machinery setups.

Basic Structure of a Sprocket

A sprocket comprises several key components, including teeth, a bore, and sometimes keyways. The teeth interact with the chain's rollers to facilitate motion and power transmission. When customizing a sprocket, several important factors need to be taken into account:

    • Material

The choice of material for the sprocket is dictated by its intended application. Common options include high carbon steel for strength, alloy steel for enhanced durability, or stainless steel for corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

    • Tooth profile

The tooth profile is critical as it influences how well the sprocket meshes with the chain. Standard profiles such as ANSI and British standards are commonly used, ensuring effective engagement and minimizing wear.

    • Number of teeth

The number of teeth on the sprocket plays a significant role in determining the speed and torque transmission ratio. A higher number of teeth typically results in lower speed and higher torque, while fewer teeth can produce the opposite effect.

    • Dimensions

Dimensions like outer diameter and width are tailored to meet the specific demands of the application. Proper sizing is essential for ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with associated components.

    • Bore

The bore is the central hole in the sprocket that secures it onto the shaft. Correct bore sizing is crucial for a tight fit, which helps prevent slippage during operation.

    • Keyway

A keyway is a groove in the bore that allows for the insertion of a key. This component is vital for preventing rotational movement between the sprocket and the shaft, ensuring synchronized operation.

    • Surface treatment

Surface treatments can significantly enhance the sprocket's durability, improving its resistance
