For drives that rely on a 5/8" pitch chain, this simplex sprocket with hub and 12 teeth (Z12) provides a straightforward way to transmit motion between parallel shafts. The hub gives you a mounting point on the shaft, where a key, a set screw, or both can lock the sprocket in place depending on how the equipment is built. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this sprocket for replacement work and for new drive assemblies in agricultural, industrial, and transport machinery.

The sprocket is made from SAE 1045 steel, a grade known for being easy to machine and for standing up to wear. Its hub is the raised central section that fits over the shaft and leaves room for the fastening method. The 5/8" pitch tells you which chain will mesh correctly; it is a middle-of-the-range pitch that shows up often in medium-power transmissions. With 12 teeth, the sprocket sets the ratio when it runs against another toothed wheel.

You will find this type of sprocket in equipment that moves power between parallel shafts through a chain: seeders, harvesters, conveyors, mixers, chain elevators, and machine tools. Food processing and other plants that want a sturdy transmission with uncomplicated upkeep also use it. Because the tooth count is low, it frequently serves as the driving sprocket in speed-reduction setups or in the faster section of a drive.

When choosing a sprocket, confirm three things: the pitch matches your chain at 5/8", the tooth count suits the ratio you need, and the hub bore fits the shaft. Also decide how it will be secured, whether by keyway, set screw, or both. At installation, line up the sprockets and set chain tension as the equipment maker advises. Lubricating properly and keeping tension correct will help the transmission last.

If you are looking for an equivalent, give us the details of the original part: pitch, number of teeth, shaft diameter, and fastening type. That is enough for us to identify the sprocket or propose a substitute from our supplied range. We can also help when the sprocket belongs to a larger assembly and you need to replace the chain or nearby bearings at the same time.
