finished bore sprocket is a type of sprocket that comes with a pre-machined central bore, making it ready for installation directly onto a shaft without additional machining. The bore of a finished bore sprocket is already sized to fit a specific shaft diameter, typically with keyway slots and set screw holes to secure the sprocket in place.
Key features of finished bore sprockets include:
Pre-Machined Bore: The central hole of the sprocket is already machined to a precise diameter, often 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 like 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 commonly used in industrial machinery and equipment applications where quick and straightforward installation onto a shaft is required without the need for additional machining work.
