The simplex sprocket with hub, 5/8" pitch and 8 teeth is a power transmission component that mounts on the shaft and meshes with the chain to transmit motion. Its hub allows it to be secured with a screw or key, and its SAE 1045 steel gives it wear resistance. It is a part sold by MR, intended for replacement on machines and equipment that run 5/8" pitch chains.

This item is a simplex sprocket with hub, designated Simplex sprocket 5/8" Z8. It has a 5/8" pitch and 8 teeth (z=8). It is made of SAE 1045 steel, a carbon steel with good machinability and hardenability, suitable for parts subjected to moderate loads. The hub is the central protruding part that allows mounting on the shaft, with room for the fastening system. MR sells it, which gives you the possibility of getting a reliable part for your application.

Typical applications for a sprocket of this type include chain drives in agricultural machinery, conveyors, elevators, machine tools and transmission equipment in general. Because of its 5/8" pitch and 8 teeth, it is used in transmission ratios where speed or multiplication is sought, or as a drive sprocket in low-speed systems. It is also common for replacement on older or domestically manufactured equipment where a part compatible with the existing chain is needed.

To correctly select this sprocket, take into account the chain pitch (5/8"), the number of teeth (8) and the shaft diameter where it is mounted. The hub must have a bore that matches the shaft, and the fastening system (screw, key or both) must be suitable for the torque to be transmitted. Also check the alignment between sprocket and chain, and the recommended lubrication for the type of service. If the shaft has a different diameter, the bore can be machined or a nearby size can be sought.

If you need an equivalent or a nearby size, the most practical thing is to send us the code MR-PINON-SIMPLE-5-8-Z8 or the data of the original sprocket: pitch, number of teeth, shaft diameter and type of fastening. With that information we can check whether we have a similar part or whether it is better to have it made to measure. We can also advise you on the compatible chain and mounting accessories.
