Classification of Sprockets
Sprockets are classified according to type A, type B, type C, and type D, which are described below :
1. Flat Sprocket
This sprocket is flat and has no hub on it. These are typically mounted on the flanges or hubs of the equipment. They drive through a series of holes that are plain or thin.
2. Sprocket Hub One Side
This sprocket made with a hub on its one side. This allows the sprocket to fit closely to the machinery on which it is mounted. Due to this, it reduces a large overhang load on the bearings of the equipment.
3. Sprocket Hub Both Side
Type C sprockets are made with a hub on its both side of the plate. It is typically used in such applications where the pitch diameter is large and there is more weight to support on the shaft. Larger loads require bigger hubs.
4. Split Hub Sprocket
These sprockets use a Type A sprocket mounted on a solid or split hub. The sprocket is easily splinted for removal and bolted to the hub. No need to remove bearings and other equipment because without it the speed ratio can be changed.
