Product description
This Tsubaki roller chain sprocket has a 3/4-inch pitch, fits size 60 chains, and is single strand with one set of teeth around its circumference for use with single strand chains. It is a sort B sprocket with a hub projection encircling the bore using one side, and both the hub and bore have Quick-Disconnect (QD) fittings for inserting and locking into place different QD bushings depending on the diameter of the shaft. The teeth of the sprocket assist in preventing slipping and binding in order to avoid power reduction in assemblies. It meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 for quality assurance. This single strand roller chain sprocket is suitable for use in a wide range of applications concerning light to moderate loads and ongoing, high-cycle operations, including automobile transmission systems, building and agricultural apparatus, conveyors, and factory production and assembly lines, amongst others.

A roller chain sprocket is a thin wheel with deep, uniformly spaced teeth ringing its circumference. The distance from the peak of 1 tooth to the next is named the pitch, and is often measured in 1/8-inch increments. The sprocket transfers power and motion by a roller chain that’s threaded over the teeth of the sprocket. The alignment of the chain with the sprocket’s pitch prevents the chain from slipping to ensure that no power is usually lost. In the center of the sprocket is the bore (hole) for sliding the sprocket onto a shaft, and a bushing or bearing is often suited to the sprocket’s hub to custom-match the sprocket onto a shaft to hold it firmly set up. A hub can be a protruding, raised lip encircling the bore of the sprocket. Sprockets with hubs on both sides are Type C, sprockets with hubs using one side are Type B, and sprockets without hubs are Type A sprockets. For applications needing sprockets to become swapped onto shafts of different diameters, a sprocket with a bore large enough to fit all shafts may be used, with the gap between the bore and shaft closed with a bushing or bearing. Roller chain sprockets are used in a broad selection of applications where the drive power of an engine must be transferred into movement, such as in automobiles, conveyors, escalators, agricultural, forestry and mining apparatus, aeronautics, robotics and space exploration, amongst others.

U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission manufactures a number of chains, sprockets, and additional power transmission elements that meet International Organization for Standardization (ISO) criteria for quality assurance. The company, founded in 1917, can be headquartered in Wheeling, IL.
