Specifications of Plain Bore Sprocket NK100B/NK100C (31.75mm Pitch)
A plain bore sprocket is a specific type of sprocket commonly employed in various industrial contexts. Unlike other sprockets that may feature specialized fittings, the plain bore design focuses on a straightforward approach to transmitting rotational motion between shafts using a chain. The design includes teeth that effectively engage the chain, facilitating efficient power transfer and motion execution.
Basic Structure of a Sprocket
- Material: Sprockets are typically crafted from high carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, tailored to meet distinct application needs.
- Tooth profile: The configuration of the teeth is essential as it influences the interaction between the sprocket and the chain, which is crucial for performance.
- Number of teeth: The count of teeth plays a significant role in determining the gear ratio, which subsequently impacts the speed and torque characteristics of the system.
- Size: The overall dimensions, including diameter and width, are critical in ensuring compatibility with the intended application.
- Bore: The center hole is designed to fit onto the shaft securely, ensuring effective motion transfer.
- Keyway: A slot is often cut into the bore to accommodate a key, which prevents any unwanted rotation of the sprocket on the shaft.
- Surface treatment: Various treatments, such as rust prevention, can be applied to enhance durability and performance, thereby extending the lifespan of the sprocket.
