A toothed sprocket is used to engage with a precise pitch block on a link or cable. It is widely used in the chemical industry, textile machinery, escalator, wood processing, three-dimensional parking garage, agricultural machinery, food processing, instrumentation, petroleum, and other industries. Sprockets usually include many models, which are described in different ways.
How to distinguish sprocket models
Sprockets can be distinguished in the following two ways: First, the standard of sprockets is usually English units, such as the standard 3 points, 4 points, and 5 points, which are also divided into single-row, double-row, three-row,s, and four rows. Secondly, there are sprocket models distinguished by the letters AB, where A represents chip sprocket, and B represents workbench sprocket; It is also divided into single row double row and three-row sprockets.
The plate chain wheel is one of the most essential parts of the bicycle transmission system. They drive the chain and drive shaft and can differentiate between speed and efficiency. These parts are available in various sizes and can be customized according to your specific needs. They can be used in agricultural and mining equipment, conveyor systems, and lifting equipment.
Cross+Morse taper hole bolt-on wheel hub
Cross+Morse taper hole bolt-on disc hub is a standard part of a bicycle hub. These bolts have a cross-section profile and are ideal for installing bicycle sprockets. They are made of steel and have a circular outside diameter. They can fix steel pulleys, plate sprockets, and impellers. Because of the size and shape of these bolts, it is easy to identify them.
Welded plate roller sprockets have a variety of hole styles to choose from to match different types of hubs. They are usually made of high-quality carbon steel and have had rust resistance for many years. They can be supplied in different lengths.
Several manufacturers produce cross+Morse tapered hole chain wheels with custom holes, feather keyways, and setscrew threads. There are many sizes available, B1=2.6 mm, c=0.6 mm. There are also cast iron sprockets to choose from.
British standard single roller, double roller, and three roller drive chains
The design of the double roller chain is sturdy and durable in any industry. ANSI standard 29.1-2011 specifies the minimum strength grade of precision power drive roller chains. To find the correct size for your application, measure the current chain's diameter, overall width, and height.
A three-roller chain has an additional row of plates with the same number of sprocket slots as a single chain. They also have pins between plates to reduce stress and increase chain life. These chains are usually used for automotive timing chains.
Roller chains are usually made of ordinary carbon steel or alloy steel. Stainless steel is sometimes used, especially in food processing machinery. Brass and nylon are also used in some industries. They also have a longer life but must be stored appropriately. Because roller chains can withstand a lot of pressure, it is essential to use the correct size.
Zmie sprocket
Zmie plate sprocket can be installed on the hub or flange. They are available in various sizes and can be customized to meet specific requirements. These sprockets are available in a variety of materials.
Beige metal chain wheel
North Valley Metal is a leading supplier of electrical operators, components, and control systems for the automated entrance, gate, and garage door markets. The company also provides various plate sprockets and other products for different applications. Beige Metal also serves the automotive market through its wide range of parts and operators.
An external and internal snap ring fixes the output shaft. The ring is installed in two places in the groove and contacts the shaft in three places. A chain secures the ring as it rotates in the output shaft. This process helps prevent the chain from jumping off the sprocket during shifting.
The company also produces a range of sprockets under the Black Ace brand. These components are widely used in agricultural and other industrial applications. They are famous for their longevity and outstanding performance. The company's customers include John Deer and Amity Technologies. Approximately 60000 sprockets are produced annually.
Key points of sprocket installation
Select the correct sprocket model and material according to the mechanical equipment model of different industries.
Check whether the installation part of the sprocket is intact and whether all joints and fasteners are intact. If there is a problem, it needs to be adjusted in time.
Install the chain wheel according to the correct method, install the main chain wheel and the auxiliary chain wheel in place, tighten various fasteners and connectors, and ask professionals to draw the installation drawing if necessary before installation.
After installing the drive chain and adjusting the tightness, check whether the chain and sprocket are matched smoothly, coplanar, and have no interference with the chain guard. After installation, the driven chain should be strengthened because the driven sprocket can easily loosen. If conditions permit, sprockets and chains can be regularly maintained and lubricated for long-term lubrication and maintenance.
How to maintain the sprocket
Sprockets shall have proper tightness. Too tight will increase power consumption, and the bearing is easy to wear; The chain wheel is too loose and easy to jump off. The tightness of the chain wheel is: lifted or pressed from the middle of the chain wheel.
The chain wheel shall be installed on the shaft and shall not swing or skew. In the same transmission component, the end faces of two sprockets should be in the same plane, and the sprocket teeth should not produce side friction. If the two wheels offset too much, it is easy to cause the chain to fall off and accelerate wear. When replacing the sprocket, pay attention to checking and adjusting the offset.
When the sprocket is seriously worn, it shall be replaced with a new sprocket and a new sprocket at the same time to ensure good engagement. It is not allowed to replace a new sprocket or a new sprocket separately. Otherwise, it will cause poor concentration and accelerate the wear of new or new sprockets. When the tooth surface of the sprocket is worn to a certain extent, it should be turned over in time for use (referring to the sprocket with the adjustable surface) to extend the service time.
The new sprocket is too long or stretched after use, which is difficult to adjust. The chain link can be removed according to the situation, but it must be uniform. The chain link shall pass through the rear of the sprocket, the lock plate shall be inserted into the outside, and the opening of the lock plate shall face the opposite direction of rotation.
The chain wheel shall be filled with lubricating oil in time during operation. The lubricating oil must enter the fit clearance between the roller and the inner sleeve to improve the working conditions and reduce wear.
The old sprocket cannot be mixed with the new sprocket. Otherwise, it will easily affect the transmission and damage the sprocket.
When the machine is stored for a long time, remove the sprocket, clean it with kerosene or diesel oil, coat it with engine oil or grease, and store it in a dry place.
We also provide various chains.
