Sprocket
General information
In addition to roller chains, sprockets are indispensable accessories for chain drives. A chain drive shall consist of at least one chain and at least two sprockets. Sprockets are always selected for the roller chain to be used. The division of the sprocket must perfectly match the division of the roller chain. The width of the sprocket must fit within the minimum internal width of the roller chain. The roller diameter of the roller rampart must correspond to the curves formed in the grooves of the sprocket. For simplicity, always use a sprocket marked with the same marking as your roller chain.
The sprockets resemble a "sun" formed from a flat sheet metal. The thickness of the entire sprocket is adjusted to the smallest inner width of the roller chain corresponding to the type of sprocket. Leaf sprockets are also called flat sprockets. Flat sprockets are usually screwed onto a rotating device. Since it does not have a brain, a tapered clamp version cannot be formed from a sprocket. Due to the design of the roller chain, chains marked 083 and 084 require a completely identical sprocket.
If the installation warrants it, we can use a hub sprocket instead of a flat sprocket.
