The Martin type BS sprocket, also known as a bored-to-size sprocket, includes two setscrews and a keyway, and is suitable for use with the series 41 chain with a 1/2” pitch. This sprocket has been adapted for installation on the shaft without additional components. Made from high carbon steel, it has high strength and durability. This sprocket has a hub extension on one side to provide stability and allow for the use of a full-depth keyway and two standard setscrews to attach the sprocket onto a shaft. The options for this class of sprocket are: number of teeth from 9 to 112; outside diameter from 1.670” to 18.120”; stock bore size from 1/2" to 1-1/2”; length through bore: 7/8” to 1-3/16; and approximate weight from 0.20 lbs to 18.81 lbs. The chain row width is 0.227” nominal. The keyway is on the centerline of the tooth. The following exceptions are present: the 9- through 15-tooth options have no keyway and use two (2) 1/4” setscrews only in the 1/2 shaft size. With this series of sprockets, the hub diameters will vary to suit different bore sizes. All Martin sprockets meet or exceed ANSI standards. A sprocket is a wheel with teeth around the perimeter that meshes with a chain, track, or other perforated or indented material. Unlike gears that mesh with another gear, sprockets mesh with a chain, which then interacts with another sprocket. Gears can be used to transmit power around a corner, based on how they fit together. Sprockets with chains only work in straight lines. Some common benefits of chain-drive systems include minimal slippage, a fixed ratio between rotating shafts, and versatility with many different chain attachments and sprocket material selections. An example of a power transmission system is a standard bicycle, which has a sprocket and a chain to deliver power from the rider’s legs to the wheels making the bike move.
