The simplex sprocket with hub, 1/2" pitch and 27 teeth, is a power transmission component that mounts on the shaft and meshes with 1/2" pitch chains. Its integrated hub allows it to be secured with a set screw or key, depending on the equipment design. It is used in conveyors, agricultural machinery, packaging lines and motion systems where a specific transmission ratio is required. MR manufactures it in SAE 1045 steel, which gives it wear resistance and good machinability.

This item is a simplex sprocket with hub with 1/2" pitch and 27 teeth (z). It is manufactured in SAE 1045 steel by MR, which guarantees a tough core and a surface suitable for contact with the chain. The built-in hub facilitates direct mounting on the shaft without the need for additional bushings. It is a part of the 1/2" pitch series, compatible with standard chains of that pitch. Its commercial designation is Simplex sprocket 1/2" Z27.

Typical applications include chain drives in belt or roller conveyors, bucket elevators, food industry machines, agricultural equipment and drive systems in production plants. It is also used in test benches and prototypes where the transmission ratio needs to be varied. Due to its simple, solid construction, it is suitable for environments with dust, moderate humidity or light shock loads, provided it is properly lubricated.

To select the correct sprocket, verify that the chain pitch matches the 1/2" pitch and that the number of teeth is appropriate for the desired transmission ratio. The hub must have a shaft diameter and fastening system (keyway, set screw or both) compatible with the equipment. It is important to align the sprockets and tension the chain according to the transmission manufacturer's recommendations. If you need guidance, our technical team can advise you.
