For single-strand drives that call for a 3/8" pitch chain, the simplex sprocket 3/8" Z16 from MR combines a 16-tooth profile with an integrated hub. It is machined from SAE 1045 steel, a grade known for its strength and response to hardening, which suits it to continuous operation. The hub design allows direct mounting on the shaft using a keyway or similar method, so no extra bushing is needed. Because the sprocket is supplied by MR, you can also inquire about adaptations for your specific machine.

This sprocket carries the part number MR-PINON-SIMPLE-3-8-Z16. Its 16 teeth (Z16) and 3/8" pitch make it a common choice when a moderate speed ratio is required. The single-row construction keeps alignment straightforward and maintenance low, while the SAE 1045 steel body offers good mechanical strength for regular service. The hub is an integral part of the sprocket, not a separate component.

Typical installations include conveyors, grain elevators, seeders, harvesters and other power transmission equipment. You will also find it in roller movement systems, feeders and feed mechanisms. In these applications, the combination of pitch and tooth count helps balance speed and torque, with low noise and even wear when the drive is properly set up.

When selecting this sprocket, confirm that your chain pitch is 3/8" and that 16 teeth give the transmission ratio you need. Check the shaft diameter and decide how the hub will be secured—keyway, set screw or flange. Correct alignment between sprocket and chain, along with proper lubrication, is essential for a long service life. If you are unsure, send us your machine data and we will help you choose.

If your application requires a different tooth count, another pitch or a hub with special dimensions, MR can source it. The company also manufactures split plummer block housings, roller chains and sheaves, and supplies bearings, seals and other power transmission parts. To request an equivalent, provide the current part number, the number of teeth and the pitch; we will reply with the matching reference.
