For drives that run on 5/8" pitch chain, this single-strand sprocket carries 40 teeth and a hub, so it mounts straight onto the shaft. It is cut from SAE 1045 carbon steel, a grade that balances strength with the toughness needed in everyday transmission duty. MR supplies it as a stock transmission component for conveyors, elevators and similar equipment, with dimensions checked before it ships.

Reading the designation is straightforward: simplex means one row of teeth, 5/8" is the chain pitch, and Z40 is the tooth count. The hub gives you a solid bore and keyway area for shaft mounting, and the single-row layout keeps the assembly narrow where space is tight. SAE 1045 carbon steel is a common choice for this kind of part because it handles moderate loads and continuous rotation without being difficult to machine or replace.

Typical installations include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, packaging lines, agricultural implements and general power transmission between shafts set some distance apart. The 5/8" pitch matches standard chain of the same pitch, which simplifies both replacement and fitting into an existing drive. Where a line needs two shafts to run in step, a sprocket of this tooth count is often the practical answer.

Before ordering, confirm three things: the chain pitch, the tooth count your ratio calls for, and the shaft diameter the hub must fit. Check the bore and keyway against your shaft drawing, then align the sprockets and set chain tension to whatever the drive manufacturer specifies. Lubricate on schedule and inspect the teeth for wear at each service interval; both practices keep the part in service longer.

If your application calls for another tooth count, a different pitch, or a hub with non-standard dimensions, we can source it. Send the code you are running now or the specifications you need, and our team will suggest an equivalent and help you confirm the match. Complementary items such as chain and related transmission parts can be quoted at the same time.
