Metric chain sprocket Sprockets Overview
TL Taper Bushed Metric Sprockets
TL Sprockets are stocked in a wide selection of sizes which includes ISO 06B, 08B, 10B, 12B, 16B and 20B chain sizes (3/8 to 1-1/4” pitch) for single, dual and triple chain. These install with regular TL tapered bushings from 1008 thru 5050 (i.e., thru a 5” or 125mm shaft diameter). TL Sprockets can be found in a wide range of diameters to accommodate various app speeds. The popular sizes are stocked with hardened teeth. The C45 materials, standard steel sprockets, permits induction hardening of the teeth. So all can be high temperature treated Hardened The teeth on ask for. The TL Taper Bushed Sprocket offers a true concentric fit to the shaft. As the TL bushing screws are tightened, the bushing compresses around the shaft securely. Standard hex wrenches are the only tool required for installation or removal. Once the bushing installation screws are loosened and removed, the screw is certainly re-used and threaded in to the bushing removal hole. Tightening the removal screw will lightly loosen the sprocket. PTI stocks both metric and inch bore TL bushings, a typical global design, which is why the TL sprocket is so versatile. Ease of installation, concentric shaft match, suitable for higher speeds and weighty loads plus a cost-effective price, make this the popular choice for new designs and replacement requirements. TL sprockets are usually less expensive than customized or finished bored sprockets. Hub Type Metric Sprockets Hub Type Metric Sprockets are available with a minimum plain bore (pilot bore) and some share completed bore sizes. Any shaft size can be done with our custom bore and keyway capability. Sprockets with hubs are typically fitted to the shaft as a clearance fit. They are held set up with two established screws and a keyway. Clearance fits are well-known for light loads and sluggish speeds. A press suit (or shrink suit to the shaft) is normally preferred for higher speeds or heavier loads as they suit to the shaft more securely than a clearance suit sprocket. According to the clearance of the shaft fit, sprockets may work slightly on the shaft leading to possible fretting or shaft wear. All standard hub sprockets are available with hardened tooth from stock or on request. Press fits usually need the sprocket to become heated for installation to increase the bore. As a heated sprocket cools, it shrinks, conforming to the shaft with a good grip. A set screw secures the main element. The TL Taper Bushed Sprocket will function like the press suit sprocket and generally simpler to install. Plate Type Metric Sprockets Plate Sprockets for solitary, double or triple strand chain are an economical choice allowing for immediate mounting to the customers’ hub or shaft. They are most frequently regarded for sprockets above 40 teeth and are available in an array of diameters. Plate type sprockets could be welded or bolted right to the users’ hub keeping apparatus compact and light-weight. They are available in single, dual and triple tooth configurations aswell. Weld on Hubs A Weld-On-Hub is frequently used to simplify mounting, especially huge diameter sprockets. PTI stocks standard TL Weld-OnHub sizes. The Weld-On-Hub uses the typical TL bushings as do most of the other regular drive elements. TL Bushings are stocked in both metric and in . bores. TL Bushings for Weld-On-Hubs or TL Bushed Sprockets TL Taper Bushings for Weld-OnHubs and sprockets are stocked from 1008 thru 5050 sizes covering 5” or 125mm shaft sizes. TL Bushings are ideal for replacements and a contemporary answer for upgrading clearance match and press match sprockets. TL Bushings are used in a wide variety of other European and American regular drive products. Stainless Steel Metric Sprockets STAINLESS (AISI 304L) Metric Sprockets provide corrosion resistance and allow wash-down ability. These hub type sprockets can be provided with a completed bore and keyway. Stainless Sprockets cannot be hardened. PTI stocks sizes from ISO 06B thru 16B (3/8” -1” pitch) and from 12 to 25 & 30 the teeth. Larger sizes on request. TL Bushed version also on demand. Metric Idler and Double-Single Sprockets Metric Idler Sprockets are plate sprockets with a ball bearing for mounting. These sprockets generally offer stress for the chain drive and can be used within a pressure arm assembly or individually mounted to put the drive. Stock sizes are for sale to ISO 05B thru 20B metric chain sizes. Double-Single Sprockets, well-known on conveyors, allow 2 single chains on a single sprocket to control pairs of rolls or drive models that must index. Custom Metric or ANSI Sprockets Custom sprockets including huge diameter steel or cast iron devices for single, duplex or triple strand chain could be made to purchase. PTI typically keeps some stock in our European warehouse, therefore delivery could possibly be rather quick. Various other custom made sprockets sizes for Metric conveyor chain or ANSI chain are also possible. Drawings are favored to insure requirements are obvious. Each is possible with customized finished bore.
