For drives that run on 5/8" pitch chain, this simplex sprocket with hub gives you a straightforward replacement option. It has 8 teeth and is made from SAE 1045 steel. The hub provides the mounting surface on the shaft, where a key, a screw, or both can secure it. MR supplies this sprocket to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.

The part is identified as Simplex sprocket 5/8" Z8. In the designation, 5/8" is the chain pitch and Z8 indicates the tooth count, so the sprocket meshes with a chain of that pitch and transmits motion through eight teeth. SAE 1045 is a medium-carbon steel chosen for machinability and hardenability, which suits components working under moderate stress. The hub is the raised central section that fits over the shaft and leaves room for the fixing method.

You will find sprockets like this one in chain drives on agricultural equipment, conveyors, elevators, machine tools, and general transmission systems. With a 5/8" pitch and 8 teeth, it often appears where a speed increase or multiplication is needed, or as the driving sprocket in low-speed arrangements. It is also a common choice when replacing worn parts on older or locally built machines, as long as the existing chain matches the pitch.

When selecting the sprocket, confirm three things: the chain pitch (5/8"), the number of teeth (8), and the shaft diameter at the mounting point. The hub bore must match the shaft, and the fixing system—key, screw, or both—must handle the torque being transmitted. Check that the sprocket and chain align properly, and follow the lubrication recommendation for your service conditions. If your shaft diameter differs, the bore can be machined to suit.
