MR Piñón simple 1/2" Z16 belongs to sprockets and gears, part of our Power transmission range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for Piñón simple 1/2" Z16 and any equivalents.

This simplex sprocket with hub runs on 1/2" pitch chain and carries 16 teeth, so it suits drives that need a fixed ratio between a shaft and a roller chain. The hub lets you lock the sprocket to the shaft with a key or a set screw, which keeps installation straightforward on conveyors, agricultural implements, lifting gear and similar transmission setups. MR supplies the part under reference MR-PINON-SIMPLE-1-2-Z16.

The code tells you most of what you need: simplex means a single row of teeth, 1/2" is the chain pitch, and Z16 is the tooth count. The sprocket is cut from SAE 1045 steel, a medium-carbon grade chosen for mechanical strength and hardenability in power transmission work. With one row of teeth and a hub, it mounts directly on the shaft rather than requiring a separate bushing.

Because of the 1/2" pitch and 16 teeth, this sprocket fits drives where speed stays moderate and torque demand is noticeable. You will find it on machines running 1/2" pitch roller chain, including ASA 40 and equivalent series. Typical homes for it are chain drives on conveyors, agricultural equipment, lifting devices and general transmission systems.

Before mounting, confirm that the shaft diameter matches the hub bore and that the key or set screw will hold the sprocket firmly. Line the sprocket up with its mating sprocket; misalignment is a common cause of early chain wear. When you select a replacement, work from the tooth count, the chain pitch, and the load and speed conditions of the equipment.
