Theyare used to reduce weight andfacilitate SAVERSPROCKETSC hain Saver SPROCKETS giveadded life to chain because ofthe special flange constructionon the rim. The chain side barsrest on the flange as chainwraps around the sprocket ,keeping the chain on the truepitch line and distributing wearover a greater contact Industries.

Split construc-tion is often specified for installations when it isdesirable or advantageous to mount or removethe sprocket from the shaft without disturbing ei-ther the shaft or the bearings. The method nowused in mounting a split wheel to the shaft givesincreased effectiveness in wheels are cast in one piece, machined, andsplit so that when bolted together the sprocketforms a solid construction.

8 Split wheels are fur-nished with hubs on one side, hubs offset, or Chubs. Rim lugs are employed when the diameterof the wheel makes them necessary. Since wheelsare cast in one piece and then split, it is neces-sary to give bore size required if ordered in core-to-bore special TYPESS prockets are supplied in various hub types ..each one designed for a specific need. The follow-ing defines and illustrates each of the basic A When a sprocket is described as type A, this in-dicates that there really is no hub which is part ofthe sprocket wheel.

9 The wheel must be mountedon a flange or hub or other holding B This indicates that the sprocket has a hub extend-ing on one side only from the wheel. This type ofhub is generally found on small and intermediatesize C These hubs are centrally located, extending anequal distance on both sides of the wheel. Thistype of hub is the most common type and is gen-erally found on large diameter C OFFSETType C Offset hubs are the same as type C mentioned above, but are slightly off , KEYS ANDSETSCREWSA single keyseat and one pair of set-screws arefurnished as standard on all SPROCKETS unless oth-erwise specified.

When keyway andsetscrew sizes are not specified, they are suppliedin accordance with the table of dimensionsheaded STANDARD KEYWAYS AND SET-SCREWS. Standard tolerances for straight andtapered keyways are: width . , depth . Setscrews are placed over key at 90 to the key unless otherwise specified. Taperedkeyways are supplied only when specified.
