Sprockets and Plate Wheels
Sprockets and Plate Wheels are an essential part of chain transmissions.
Standard types are for all types of roller chains according to DIN 8187 - European series (06B, 08B, 10B, etc.) and according to DIN 8188 - American series ASA, ANSI.
Depending on the chain type, the sprockets and plate wheels may be simplex, duplex or triplex.
Classical (DIN 8187 - for B Series Roller Chains)
Sprockets and plate wheels for simplex, duplex, triplex chain to DIN 8187 - 06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16.
Classical (DIN 8188 ASA/ANSI - for A Series Roller Chains)
Sprockets and plate wheels for simplex, duplex, triplex chain to DIN 8188 - ASA.
Stainless Steel (DIN 8187 - for B Series Roller Chains)
Simplex sprockets in stainless-steel 304 L for roller chains DIN 8187.
Double-Single (DIN 8187 - for B Series Roller Chains)
Duplex plate wheels for two single chains DIN 8187 (06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B).
Hardened Teeth, Finished Bore with Keyway (DIN 8187 - for B Series Roller Chains)
Sprockets with hardened teeth, finished bore with keyway and threaded holes for 2 setting screws for roller chains DIN 8187 (06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B, 20B).
Idler Sprockets
Ball bearing idler sprockets DIN 8187 (06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B) for universal tensioner.
Sprockets Fields of Use
Sprockets and plate wheels are designed for general use in light and heavy industry.
They are used in drives, but can also be used for lifting or transporting material.
Sprockets Material
Steel, stainless steel or cast iron.
