05B Metric Roller Chain Sprocket — Precision Engineered for Light-to-Medium Duty Applications

The 05B sprocket is designed for ISO/R 606 roller chain systems operating at 8mm pitch. Suitable for packaging lines, textile machinery, food-grade conveyors, and automated assembly stations where consistent torque transfer and low-noise operation are required. We manufacture 05B sprockets in simplex (05B-1), duplex (05B-2), and triplex (05B-3) strand configurations with tooth counts ranging from 9 to 114 teeth.

Product Features and Advantages

⚙ CNC Hobbed Tooth Profiles

Teeth are cut on multi-axis CNC hobbing machines to AGMA quality class tolerances, ensuring uniform chain engagement geometry across every tooth position.

🔥 Induction Hardened Teeth

Tooth flanks hardened to HRC 40-50 while maintaining a ductile core. This extends wear life by 2-3 times compared to unhardened sprockets in abrasive operating environments.

🛠 Precision Bore Machining

Bores machined on CNC lathes with concentricity held to within 0.025 mm TIR relative to the pitch circle diameter. Keyways broached to DIN 6885 tolerances.

🛡 Low-Noise Operation

The 8mm pitch produces inherently quieter operation than larger pitch chains, making 05B sprockets suitable for indoor packaging and assembly environments where noise control matters.

🏭 Material Traceability

Every sprocket is traceable to its raw material batch with EN 10204 Type 3.1 material test certificates available on request for quality audit compliance.

✅ Multi-Standard Compliance

Manufactured to ISO/R 606 and DIN 8187 dimensional standards. Dimensionally interchangeable with OEM sprockets from major European machinery manufacturers.

Compatibility Information

Selection Guide

By Chain Type: Match the 05B sprocket pitch (8mm) exactly to your existing 05B ISO roller chain. Do not interchange with ANSI #40 chain despite similar pitch values.

By Application: Simplex (05B-1) covers approximately 70% of light-duty applications. Select duplex (05B-2) when load exceeds single-strand rating or where redundancy is required. Triplex (05B-3) for high-torque, low-speed drives.

By Load Rating: Duplex provides approximately 1.7x the load capacity of simplex. Triplex provides approximately 2.5x. Consult our engineers if operating near rated capacity.

Material and Manufacturing Process

Standard Material: C45 carbon steel (1045 equivalent) with tensile strength of 570-700 MPa. Suitable for general industrial environments without significant corrosion exposure.

Heat Treatment: Tooth flanks undergo induction hardening to achieve surface hardness of HRC 40-50. The hardening depth is controlled to maintain core ductility for shock absorption.

Surface Treatment Options: Black oxide (standard), zinc plating, zinc-nickel plating, or phosphate coating. Stainless steel (SS304/SS316) versions available for corrosive or food-grade environments.

Tooth Cutting: CNC hobbing to AGMA quality class tolerances. All tooth profiles verified against master templates before dispatch.

Application Scenarios

05B sprocket in food processing conveyor

Food Processing & Packaging

Compact 8mm pitch is well suited for bottling lines, labelling machines, and carton erectors where space constraints require smaller sprocket diameters.

05B sprocket in automated assembly

Automated Assembly & Textile

Low-noise engagement makes 05B sprockets suitable for indoor manufacturing environments including textile looms, printing press feed systems, and robotic assembly stations.

Customer Reviews

“We have been using 05B-1 sprockets on our packaging line conveyors for over two years. Tooth wear is minimal and chain engagement is noticeably smoother than our previous supplier. Good dimensional consistency across batches.”

★★★★★ — Production Engineer, Melbourne, Australia

“Reliable sprockets for our textile machinery. The induction-hardened teeth last significantly longer than unhardened alternatives we tried previously.”

★★★★☆ — Plant Supervisor, Hamburg, Germany

“Good quality 05B sprockets at a competitive price point. Material certificates were provided without any issues for our ISO audit.”

★★★★★ — Procurement Manager, Osaka, Japan

“We use these on our automated labelling systems. The bore concentricity is excellent and we have had no vibration issues at operating speed.”

★★★★★ — Maintenance Manager, Sao Paulo, Brazil

“Ordered 05B duplex sprockets for a conveyor upgrade. Fit was precise and delivery documentation was complete. Will reorder.”

★★★★☆ — Technical Director, Birmingham, United Kingdom

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a 05B sprocket with an ANSI #40 chain?
No. Although the pitch values are close, ISO 05B and ANSI #40 chains have different roller diameters and internal widths. Using mismatched standards will cause poor engagement and accelerated wear. Always match the sprocket standard exactly to the chain.
What tooth count should I select for my application?
The driven sprocket tooth count is determined by your required speed ratio. Minimum recommended is 17 teeth for smooth operation. Odd tooth counts (19, 21, 23) distribute wear more evenly. Contact our engineers with your motor speed and required output speed for a specific recommendation.
Is a stainless steel version available?
Yes. We manufacture 05B sprockets in SS304 and SS316 stainless steel for food processing, pharmaceutical, and corrosive environments. Electro-polished finish is available for hygienic applications.
What bore sizes are available?
Stock bore sprockets are available in standard pilot bore sizes. We can machine finished bores with keyway to your shaft specification up to the maximum bore capacity of each tooth count. Provide your shaft diameter and keyway dimensions for a quotation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order quantity is one piece for both stock and custom-machined sprockets. Quantity discounts are available for orders of 10 or more identical units.

Installation Guide

Step 1: Verify the sprocket pitch (8mm) matches your 05B chain. Confirm tooth count, bore diameter, and keyway dimensions match your shaft.

Step 2: Mount the sprocket onto the shaft and secure with the key and set screws. Torque set screws to the manufacturer’s specification.

Step 3: Align the drive and driven sprockets using a straightedge or laser alignment tool. Both sprocket faces must lie within 0.5 mm per 300 mm of centre distance.

Step 4: Install the chain with correct tension. The recommended sag is 2-3% of the centre distance on the slack side.

Step 5: Apply initial lubrication to the chain and sprocket engagement area before starting the drive.

Maintenance and Inspection

Lubrication: Apply ISO VG 30-50 oil to the chain at the sprocket engagement point at intervals determined by operating speed and environment. Do not use grease.

Wear Inspection: Check tooth profile symmetry at each chain replacement interval. Replace the sprocket if tooth flanks show hook-shaped wear exceeding 25% of original thickness.

Replacement Standard: A well-maintained 05B sprocket should last through 2-3 chain replacements. If the sprocket requires replacement at every chain change, investigate root causes (misalignment, overloading, inadequate lubrication).
