This simplex sprocket with hub is identified by its 5/8" pitch and 20 teeth (Z20). It is produced from SAE 1045 steel, a grade that combines toughness with resistance to wear in power transmission service. The single row of teeth suits straightforward drives, and the hub provides a mounting point directly on the shaft. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this sprocket with standard dimensions for replacements and new builds.

In a roller chain drive, the sprocket's job is to transfer motion from the driver to the driven shaft. Here, the 5/8" pitch fixes the chain size it accepts, while the 20 teeth set the ratio in combination with the mating sprocket. The hub bore is sized to the shaft, and the keyway carries the torque. Because there is only one row of teeth, the design fits simple transmissions rather than multi-strand arrangements.

You will find this type of sprocket across conveyors, elevators, mixers, agricultural machines and moving lines inside production plants. Food processing and metallurgical operations also rely on it where the drive has to stay precise over time. The 5/8" pitch keeps it compatible with chains of that pitch, and the tooth count defines the speed relationship with the driven sprocket.

When selecting a replacement, start with three checks: chain pitch, the number of teeth required for your ratio, and the shaft diameter at the mounting point. Confirm that the hub bore matches the shaft and that the keyway can transmit the torque. Align the sprockets accurately during assembly to prevent uneven wear and noise. Proper lubrication and correct chain tension also help the assembly last.

If your application calls for another tooth count, a different pitch or a special hub, alternatives can be sourced. MR Industrial Accessories LLC also supplies split plummer block housings, ANSI chains and sheaves, along with mounted units, seals, lubrication and maintenance tools.
