finished bore sprocket is a type of sprocket that comes with a pre-machined central bore ready for installation onto a shaft. These sprockets are designed with a bore that has been machined to a specific diameter, keyway, and set screw holes, allowing for easy mounting and alignment on a shaft without additional machining.
Key features of finished bore sprockets include:
Pre-Machined Bore: The central hole of the sprocket is already machined to a precise diameter, typically with keyway slots and set screw holes.
Shaft Compatibility: Designed to fit standard shaft sizes, reducing the need for additional machining or modifications.
Keyway: Machined keyway slot(s) to accommodate a key for secure torque transmission between the sprocket and the shaft.
Set Screw Holes: Pre-drilled holes for set screws to fasten the sprocket securely to the shaft.
Material Options: Available in various materials such as steel, stainless steel, or plastic based on application requirements.
Ease of Installation: Simplifies the installation process by eliminating the need for custom bore machining.
Finished bore sprockets are convenient and efficient solutions for applications where quick and straightforward installation onto a shaft is required without the hassle of additional machining work.
