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.
With Hub (DIN 8187 - B Series)
Sprockets for simplex, duplex, triplex chain to DIN 8187 - 06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B, ... , 32B.
Plate Wheels (DIN 8187 - B Series)
Plate wheels for simplex, duplex, triplex chains to DIN 8187 - 06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, ... 32B.
Taper Bored (DIN 8187 - B Series)
Taper Bored sprockets for simplex, duplex, triplex chain to DIN 8187 - 06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B, 20B.
Cast Iron (DIN 8187 - B Series)
Cast iron sprockets for roller chains DIN 8187 (06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B, 20B, 24B)
Hardened Teeth, Finished Bore with Keyway (DIN 8187 - B Series)
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).

High-alloy steel with increased resistance to chemical and electrochemical corrosion.
Suitable especially for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, demanding operating conditions and the outdoor environment, but also for all applications where the use of corrosion-resistant materials is required by law.
Stainless Steel (DIN 8187 - B Series)
Simplex sprockets in stainless-steel 304 L for roller chains DIN 8187.
Double-Single (DIN 8187 - B Series)
Duplex plate wheels for two single chains DIN 8187 (06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B).
ASA/ANSI (DIN 8188 - A Series)
Sprockets and plate wheels for simplex, duplex, triplex chain to DIN 8188 - ASA.
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.
