This simplex sprocket with hub is identified by the part number MR-PINON-SIMPLE-5-8-Z18 and the designation Simplex sprocket 5/8" Z18. It is a single-row sprocket machined from SAE 1045 steel, designed for 5/8" pitch chains. The integrated hub allows direct mounting on a shaft with a key and set screw, without additional components.

The code breaks down as follows: simplex indicates a single row of teeth, 5/8" is the chain pitch, and Z18 means 18 teeth. Together with the driven sprocket, these 18 teeth set the transmission ratio. The hub provides a bore and keyway for fastening to the shaft, which simplifies assembly on power transmission drives.

Typical applications include agricultural machinery, conveyors, elevators, mixers and general power transmission equipment. It is common in moderate-speed drives where a defined ratio and even wear are required. In ANSI chain systems of 5/8" pitch, it often serves as the drive sprocket.

When selecting this sprocket, confirm the chain pitch (5/8"), the number of teeth (18) and the shaft diameter. Verify that the hub bore and keyway match your shaft. Precise alignment between this sprocket and the driven sprocket helps prevent irregular wear. Periodic lubrication and correct chain tension are also important for reliable operation.

If you need a different number of teeth, another pitch or a different hub size, we can source it or suggest an equivalent.
