16B tapered clamping sprockets
Description
16B tapered clamp sprockets are types of sprockets suitable for driving roller chains of the same designation as their designation, with a brain machined for a tapered clamp on one side, without tooth hardening. Sprockets can be one, two or three rows, which are obviously used for one, two or three rows of roller chains of the same type. In the table below, the chain type, number of teeth and outer diameter are indicated. For more information, use the catalogs on the Downloadable documents tab. The tapered clamp is not included with the sprocket, it can be found here. In all cases, you should choose a tapered clamp of the type indicated at the sprocket with a hole corresponding to the shaft size.
Pitch: 1", 25.4mm
Wheel width: 17.02 mm
The hub sprockets are manufactured according to DIN 8187 and ISO R606 from C45 (K1045) material. Conical clamping sprockets made by different manufacturers may differ in certain production parameters, but their main parameters are similar or identical. In normal use, identical tapered clamping sprockets made by different manufacturers are interchangeable!
Why should I use sprocket drive?
One of the simplest and oldest positive coupling drives. You can easily change the transmission rate (by changing the size of the chain). It is also capable of driving back and forth. It is not significantly disturbed by dirt and ambient temperature. It requires relatively little maintenance. It does not require special knowledge to use. So because it's simple, requires little care, and is relatively cheap.
Is a sprocket with hardened teeth or a sprocket with non-hardened teeth better?
This is such an issue as the case of chicken and eggs. Some swear by sprockets with hardened teeth, others by untrained ones. To put it simply, in the case of sprockets with non-hardened teeth, the sprocket usually wears out first, while in the case of sprockets with hardened teeth, the roller chain needs to be replaced more often. It is up to the user to choose which product is cheaper or easier to replace on the machine for a given application. Hardened tooth sprockets are currently not available in the assortment of our webshop.
What is a tapered clamp?
A taper bush is a shaft joint specially developed for unmachined fastening of drive technology components. The socket of the outer (tapered) surface of the tapered clamping is already made in the drive technology element (in this case, a sprocket), to which it can be attached with two or more screws. In all cases, we have to purchase a tapered clamp marked in the part number of the drive technology element. The tapered clamp must be purchased with a hole with a hole of nominal size corresponding to the nominal diameter of our shaft!
