The simplex sprocket 5/8" Z16 is a sprocket sold by MR Accesorios Industriales, designed to transmit motion in 5/8" pitch chains. It has 16 teeth and a hub, and is machined in SAE 1045 steel. It is used in power transmissions where a compact and sturdy gear is needed, and it is chosen by the chain pitch, the number of teeth and the type of mounting on the shaft. If you need to replace a worn sprocket or build a new transmission, this model can be the starting point.
This item is a simplex sprocket with hub, 5/8" pitch and 16 teeth (Z16), sold by MR in SAE 1045 steel. The designation Simplex sprocket 5/8" Z16 indicates that the chain driving it must be 5/8" pitch, that the sprocket has 16 teeth and that its body includes a hub for mounting on the shaft. SAE 1045 material is a carbon steel with good machinability and strength, suitable for parts subjected to moderate stresses and contact wear.
Sprockets of this type are used in chain transmissions of agricultural machinery, conveyors, elevators, belts, mixers and transmission equipment in general. They also appear in implements and in production lines where a fixed transmission ratio and simple maintenance are needed. As it is sold by MR, we can offer them with the hub and bore that best adapt to the available shaft, as long as the dimensions are confirmed before ordering.
To select a sprocket properly, take into account the chain pitch, the number of teeth, the shaft diameter and the type of fastening. The 5/8" pitch is a critical data point: if it does not match the chain, the gear is useless. The number of teeth defines the transmission ratio and the tangential speed; the lower the number of teeth, the greater the stress on each tooth. The hub allows mounting on shafts of different diameters, but the bore, the keyway and the set screws or fastening screws must be verified.
If you need an equivalent sprocket, the most practical thing is to send us the part number MR-PINON-SIMPLE-5-8-Z16 or the data you have at hand: pitch, number of teeth, shaft diameter and type of hub. With that we can look for another size in the same line or a compatible alternative. We can also guide you if the sprocket will work with an existing chain and you need to keep the original transmission ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does it mean that it is 5/8" pitch and 16 teeth?
- The 5/8" pitch indicates the distance between the rollers of the chain that drives it; if the chain is not of that pitch, the sprocket will not mesh. The 16 teeth define the transmission ratio and the tangential speed. Both data points are the first to verify before ordering it.
- What material is this sprocket made of?
- It is machined in SAE 1045 steel, a carbon steel with good strength and machinability. It is suitable for chain transmissions with moderate stresses. If your application requires another treatment or material, ask us before requesting a quote.
- How do I ask for a different size or an equivalent sprocket?
- Send by WhatsApp the part number MR-PINON-SIMPLE-5-8-Z16 or the data of your sprocket: pitch, number of teeth, shaft diameter and type of hub. With that information we can look for another size in the same line or a compatible alternative.
