A hub-style simplex sprocket built to run on the shaft and engage the chain, this 5/8" pitch, 42-tooth unit handles motion transfer in drive and conveying setups. Because the hub is part of the body, the sprocket mounts straight onto the shaft instead of needing separate discs.
Reading the designation is straightforward: simplex sprocket, 5/8" pitch, 42 teeth, hub type. The body is machined from SAE 1045 steel, a medium-carbon grade chosen for wear and fatigue behavior in continuous service. The hub forms the center section, which is what allows a direct shaft fit and keeps alignment simple during installation.
You will find this size in chain-driven machinery, conveyor sections, elevator systems, packaging lines and general production equipment, as well as in agricultural and material handling work. With 42 teeth on a 5/8" pitch, it suits drives where speed and torque need to stay in balance. Machines that run long hours with limited maintenance attention are a common home for it.
Before mounting, check that the hub bore matches the shaft diameter and that the key or locking method is in usable condition. Line the sprocket up with the chain carefully; poor alignment shows up quickly as noise and early wear. Selection should account for the load being transmitted, the running speed and the conditions around the machine.
If this sprocket is not the right fit, an equivalent can usually be suggested. Sending the complete code, the designation or a photo of the original part speeds that up, and the critical dimensions help too: outer diameter, bore, hub width and tooth count.

Frequently asked questions
- What does "with hub" mean on this sprocket?
- The hub is the raised center section of the sprocket. It lets the part sit directly on the shaft, so no extra discs or adapters are needed to hold it in place, and alignment during installation is simpler.
- Which details help you identify an equivalent sprocket?
- The full code or designation is the fastest route, and a photo of the original part works well too. If neither is available, send the outer diameter, bore diameter, hub width and number of teeth.
- Where is this 5/8" pitch, 42-tooth sprocket typically used?
- It appears in chain drive systems on industrial machinery, conveyors, elevators, packaging equipment and production lines, and also in agricultural and material handling equipment where a balance between speed and torque is required.
