Metric 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, double and triple chain. These attach with standard TL tapered bushings from 1008 thru 5050 (i.e., thru a 5” or 125mm shaft diameter). TL Sprockets are available in a wide range of diameters to support various application speeds. The popular sizes are stocked with hardened the teeth. The C45 materials, standard steel sprockets, allows for induction hardening of teeth. So all can be heat treated Hardened The teeth on demand. The TL Taper Bushed Sprocket offers a accurate concentric fit to the shaft. As the TL bushing screws are tightened, the bushing compresses around the shaft securely. Standard hex wrenches will be the only tool required for installation or removal. After the bushing installation screws are loosened and removed, the screw is definitely re-used and threaded into the bushing removal hole. Tightening the removal screw will carefully loosen the sprocket. PTI stocks both metric and in . bore TL bushings, a typical global design, which explains why the TL sprocket is so versatile. Ease of installation, concentric shaft match, suitable for higher speeds and heavy loads plus a cost-effective cost, 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 can be found with a minimum basic bore (pilot bore) plus some share finished bore sizes. Any shaft size is possible with our custom made bore and keyway ability. Sprockets with hubs are usually fitted to the shaft as a clearance fit. They are held set up with two established screws and a keyway. Clearance fits are popular for light loads and gradual speeds. A press suit (or shrink fit to the shaft) is normally preferred for higher speeds or heavier loads because they match to the shaft more safely than a clearance suit sprocket. Depending on the clearance of the shaft fit, sprockets may work slightly on the shaft causing possible fretting or shaft wear. All regular hub sprockets can be found with hardened the teeth from share or on request. Press fits usually require the sprocket to be heated for set up to increase the bore. As a heated sprocket cools, it shrinks, conforming to the shaft with a good grip. A established screw secures the main element. The TL Taper Bushed Sprocket will function just like the press suit sprocket and generally simpler to install. Plate Type Metric Sprockets Plate Sprockets for solitary, dual or triple strand chain are an economical choice allowing for direct mounting to the clients’ hub or shaft. They are most regularly considered for sprockets above 40 teeth and so are available in a wide range of diameters. Plate type sprockets could be welded or bolted directly to the users’ hub keeping products 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 installation, especially large diameter sprockets. PTI stocks regular TL Weld-OnHub sizes. The Weld-On-Hub uses the typical TL bushings as do most of the other standard drive parts. TL Bushings are stocked in both metric and ” 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 well suited for replacements and a modern solution for upgrading clearance match and press match sprockets. TL Bushings are used in a wide variety of various other European and American regular drive products. Stainless Steel Metric Sprockets Stainless Steel (AISI 304L) Metric Sprockets provide corrosion resistance and allow wash-down capacity. These hub type sprockets could be given a completed bore and keyway. Stainless Sprockets can’t be hardened. PTI stocks sizes from ISO 06B thru 16B (3/8” -1” pitch) and from 12 to 25 & 30 tooth. Larger sizes on demand. TL Bushed version also on ask for. Metric Idler and Double-Solitary Sprockets Metric Idler Sprockets are plate sprockets with a ball bearing for installation. These sprockets generally offer stress for the chain drive and can be utilized within a tension arm assembly or separately mounted to position 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 regulate pairs of rolls or drive products that must index. Customized Metric or ANSI Sprockets Custom sprockets including huge diameter metal or cast iron devices for solitary, duplex or triple strand chain can be made to order. PTI typically retains some stock inside our European warehouse, so delivery could possibly be rather quick. Additional 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.
