This 5/8" pitch simplex sprocket with 22 teeth is a power transmission component offered by MR Industrial Accessories. The hub design lets it sit directly on a shaft, located with a keyway and held by a key or set screw. It is machined from SAE 1045 carbon steel, a grade that machines cleanly and takes heat treatment well. Chain conveyors, farm equipment and moderate-speed drives are common places to find it.

Reading the designation is straightforward: simplex means a single row of teeth, 5/8" is the chain pitch, and Z22 gives the tooth count. Pitch is what decides which chain will mesh with the sprocket, and 5/8" is a widely used size in industrial drives. Tooth count, in turn, sets the ratio between the two shafts and the speed at which the chain travels. Because the part comes from SAE 1045 steel, a medium-carbon grade with solid mechanical properties, it suits service under moderate load. The hub removes the need for a separate bushing when mounting.

Where does it fit? Chain conveyors, bucket elevators, agricultural implements, packaging lines and general plant transmission systems all use sprockets of this type. Roller drives, belt conveyors and linear motion arrangements are other examples. As a supplied item, it can be machined to your requirements, for instance a specific bore diameter or keyway position, as long as this is raised before the order is placed.

Selection comes down to three checks. First, confirm the chain pitch matches 5/8". Second, confirm the tooth count gives the ratio and chain speed your drive needs. Third, measure the shaft and compare it with the hub bore, and make sure the keyway lines up. Correct alignment between sprocket and chain matters as well, since misalignment leads to uneven wear. For high-speed or heavily loaded duty, ask our team about additional heat treatment.

A different tooth count, another pitch or a different hub bore can be sourced on request. Send the code or exact designation of the part you need together with your shaft and chain dimensions, and you will receive a proposal built around those figures.
