Questions about this item
What does the 18-tooth count mean when the sprocket is installed on a shaft?
The 18 teeth engage a 40 chain at a 2.879 in pitch diameter, giving a fixed speed ratio relative to the driven sprocket.
How does the 1/2 in chain pitch limit the chain I can use?
It only accepts single-strand 40 chain with a 1/2 in pitch; other pitches will not mesh correctly.
What shaft size and keyway does the 5/8 in bore with 3/16 in keyway require?
It fits a 5/8 in diameter shaft and needs a 3/16 in wide by 3/32 in deep keyway slot.
