The enamel of a solitary pitch sprocket mesh with one particular tooth per sprocket. Double pitch sprockets appear like solitary pitch sprockets, but the chain only meshes with the other enamel. This implies that a double-pitch sprocket has the exact same amount of teeth as a one-pitch sprocket, but only 50 percent of the enamel are engaged with the chain. The main distinction is that the double pitch sprockets are minimize with a special pitch circle diameter for optimum engagement. For ep roller chains, the sprockets are the identical if the amount of tooth is 32 or more for one and double chains.
Ep prefabricated metal sprockets are manufactured of C1045 metal, induction hardened or warmth-dealt with steel, four hundred – five hundred BHN hardness. Please specify the supplies you need. Unless of course in any other case requested, the outside diameter of the hub should be adequate to accommodate the required holes and keyways. Keys to these objects are not provided until asked for or installed on the shaft. Split sprockets for welding or split sprockets for bolts supply an economical way to install sprockets on shafts where removal of the shaft assembly is prohibited. Numerous measurements of sprockets are equipped with holes, keyways, and set screws. Discs or partly finished sprockets are also stocked. For extended sprockets and idlers, specify the chain dimensions utilised.
