technical data Large size conveyor chain Sprockets Sprocket Structure
1. Basic structure
The tooth profile is subjected to optimal induction hardening hardening treatment, which improves the sprocket's wear resistance and transmission capacity.
2. Hub format
BW type
A hub is welded to one side of the sprocket tooth section.
Applicable
- RF10 size or smaller
- RF205 size or smaller
BW1 type
The hub is inserted into the toothed section of the sprocket, forming a single hub that is welded from both sides.
Applicable
- RF12 size or larger
- RF6205 size or larger
CW type
This type has hubs welded to both sides of the sprocket tooth section.
Applicable
- RF10 size or smaller
- RF205 size or smaller
CW1 type
The hub is inserted into the toothed section of the sprocket, forming a double hub that is welded from both sides.
Applicable
- RF12 size or larger
- RF6205 size or larger
3. Tooth type
1. Shape
S1: Tooth tip is circular
S2: Flat tooth tip (shaded area is cut)
Note: The S2 tooth profile is used for chains with K attachments where the S1 tooth profile may cause interference between the slats and the sprocket outer diameter. Please consult us if you wish to use a special chain or a chain with top rollers.
2. Specifications
- ・ Standard Series (symbol N)
The teeth are not hardened, making them suitable for applications with light loads and low wear. - -Hardened tooth tip specification (symbol Q)
This is a specification with hardened tooth tips. It is suitable for applications requiring wear resistance or under high load conditions. Please follow the table below to distinguish between Standard Series (N) and hardened tooth tips (Q).
Classification of Standard Series and tooth tip hardening specifications
| Chain specifications | Roller type | Drive side | Driven side | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal atmosphere | Abrasive atmosphere | Normal atmosphere | Abrasive atmosphere | ||
| DT Series DTA Series |
S | Q | Q | N | Q |
| R | N | Q | N | N | |
| F | N | Q | N | N | |
| AT Series ATA Series |
S | Q | Q | N | Q |
| R | Q | Q | N | Q | |
| F | Q | Q | N | Q | |
The above is a classification based on general usage conditions. Please contact us if you are using the product in an especially abrasive environment or under high load conditions.
4. Shaft bore finishing additional specifications
To enable the completion of tedious hole processing in a Quick delivery, the shaft hole dimensions are processed to the following specifications. Please note that setscrews are not included.
Standard shaft hole processing specifications
| Shaft bore tolerance | Keyway width tolerance | Tapping |
|---|---|---|
| H8 | JIS B1301-1996 Normal type Js9 |
Above the keys and at 120° intervals Tapped in two places |
| Old JIS B1301-1959 2 types E9 |
Phase of keyway and tooth tip
The keyway is machined so that the center of the sprocket tooth is aligned with the center of the keyway. If you wish to use chains in parallel, please contact us.
