Specifications Plain Bore Sprocket NK200B/NK200C (63.5mm Pitch)
A plain bore sprocket is a specialized type of sprocket utilized in various industrial applications. It is engineered to efficiently transmit rotational motion between two shafts through a chain mechanism. The plain bore sprocket serves as a crucial element in numerous machinery and equipment systems, facilitating smooth operation and enhancing overall machinery performance.
Basic Structure of Sprocket
A sprocket comprises several critical elements necessary for custom fabrication:
- Material: Sprockets can be made from high carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, chosen based on the specific demands of the application.
- Tooth Profile: The design of the tooth profile is fundamental as it influences the efficient transfer of power and the overall effectiveness of the sprocket.
- Number of Teeth: The number of teeth plays a significant role in determining the speed ratio and precise movement of the chain, impacting the machinery’s functionality.
- Dimensions: Accurate dimensions, including outer diameter and width, are vital for ensuring proper integration within the machinery.
- Bore Size: The bore size refers to the diameter of the central hole, which allows for mounting the sprocket onto a shaft securely.
- Keyway: The keyway is a critical slot that aids in locating and centering the sprocket on the shaft, ensuring stability during operation.
- Surface Treatment: The sprocket’s surface may undergo treatments to improve hardness, corrosion resistance, and enhance overall durability, thereby extending its life.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
To ensure longevity and optimal performance, proper maintenance and regular inspections are imperative:
- Daily Inspection: Conduct checks for any signs of damage, misalignment, or abnormal wear to maintain functionality.
- Cleaning: Regularly remove dirt, debris, and lubricant buildup to prevent interference with the chain’s movement, which could hinder operations.
- Lubrication: Apply suitable lubrication consistently to reduce friction, which helps in preventing premature wear and tear of the sprocket.
- Adjustment and Calibration: Necessary adjustments should be made to ensure proper tension and alignment of the chain, thus enhancing operational efficiency.
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Skipping Teeth: This may arise from worn-out teeth or inadequate chain tension. Address this by replacing the sprocket or adjusting the chain tension appropriately.
- Breakage: Inspect the sprocket for cracks or fractures. If any are found, replace the sprocket to avoid further issues.
- Wear: Prolonged use or inadequate lubrication can lead to wear. Implementing regular maintenance and proper lubrication can significantly reduce wear.
- Noise: Excessive noise could indicate misalignment or worn sprocket teeth. Adjust alignment or replace the sprocket as necessary to resolve this issue.
- Chain Slippage: Inspect the chain for loose or damaged links. Repairing or replacing the chain will help prevent further slippage and ensure smooth operation.
