Sprockets for roller chain are either single-cut or double- cut to enhance wear life. With a single- cut sprocket, the pitch (distance between tooth centers) equals that of the chain links.

To use the Rotaluber, you engage the tool on the chain, backpedal, and gently squeeze the bottle. After lubing the full ...

T8F has a roller width of 4.8mm, but most sprockets are just 4mm thick, tapering down to about 2.5mm to make them mesh smoothly with the chain. My blank was 5mm thick, which simply wouldn’t do.

For drive applications with fewer than 60 teeth on the sprocket, replacement of the chain is suggested when it reaches 1.5% elongation, measured over at least six pitches; however, a longer length ...

Chain sprockets are a key drivetrain component in a lot of builds. Unfortunately they can be difficult to source, particularly for those outside the reach of retailers like McMaster-Carr. In such s… ...

Eliminating pitch extension, or chain stretch, slows sprocket tooth wear and bushing outside-diameter wear. Sealed and lubricated chain life is approximately 50% longer than that of sealed, dry ...

BMG ’s Tsubaki G7 ANSI RS roller chain offers double the wear-life of the previous sixth generation chain and can withstand an increase of 33% in kW ratings, improved productivity and reduced ...
