This simplex sprocket with hub runs on 1/2" pitch chain and is identified by the code MR-PINON-SIMPLE-1-2-Z36. It is made from SAE 1045 steel and carries 36 teeth. The hub lets you mount it directly on a shaft and lock it with a key, a set screw or both, depending on how the equipment is built.

The main data to keep on hand: pitch 1/2", 36 teeth, material SAE 1045 steel, simplex sprocket with hub. SAE 1045 steel provides suitable mechanical strength for moderate loads. As with any chain drive, lubrication and correct chain tension are part of keeping it running reliably.

The 1/2" pitch matches ANSI 40 chain and its equivalents. That makes the sprocket useful for replacements as well as new builds. You will find it in conveyor drives, elevators, mixers, agricultural equipment and motion systems on production lines, and in timing mechanisms or gearboxes where a defined ratio is needed.

When selecting the sprocket, check three things: the tooth counts of the driving and driven sprockets that give you the ratio you want, the shaft diameter it will sit on, and how it will be fastened (key, set screw or both). Confirm the chain is the same 1/2" pitch and that the sprockets are aligned, since misalignment leads to premature wear.

If your application calls for a different tooth count, pitch or hub size, we can source it. Send the part number you are replacing or the specifications you need, and our team will reply with a quote and can suggest equivalents and help you choose.
