Coupling Sprocket NK40B / NK40C

The NK40B / NK40C coupling sprocket (12.700 mm pitch, 25.4) is purpose-designed for roller chain flexible coupling assemblies, connecting motor and driven shafts with inherent flexibility to tolerate small misalignments and dampen shock loads. Available in solid (B Type) and welded (A2 Weld) hub configurations across Z=9 – 90, it is the preferred shaft coupling solution in Australian pump, fan, conveyor, and gearbox applications.

Key Features

Roller Chain Flexible Coupling
Two coupling sprockets and a length of double-strand (duplex) roller chain form a compact flexible coupling that tolerates angular misalignment up to 1° and parallel offset up to 0.5 mm.
Shock-Load Absorption
The roller chain element absorbs shock and vibration between motor and load — protecting gearboxes, pumps, and driven machines from torque spikes common in start-stop operations.
⚙️
Easy Maintenance
Chain coupling disassembly requires only disconnecting the roller chain link — no alignment tools or heat required. Chain replacement restores full coupling performance without disturbing shaft alignment.
High Torque Capacity
Double-strand roller chain wraps two tooth profiles simultaneously, providing significantly higher torque capacity per unit diameter than jaw or disc couplings of equivalent size.

Сумісність

The NK40B / NK40C coupling sprocket is used as a matched pair with a duplex (double-strand) roller chain forming a complete roller-chain coupling. Both sprockets must be the same model and tooth count. Bore finished to your shaft diameter; keyway and set-screw included on solid-hub types.

Alan W.  ★★★★★   Australia
“NK40B / NK40C coupling sprockets fitted to our pump drives — running flawlessly for 18 months with no chain replacement needed yet. Excellent value.”
NK40B / NK40C Z=9 Coupling Sprocket · March 2025
Dieter H.  ★★★★★   Germany
“Bore tolerance is excellent — h6 shaft fit, zero wobble. The chain coupling performs quieter than the jaw coupling it replaced.”
NK40B / NK40C Z=12 Coupling Sprocket · January 2025
Asha R.  ★★★★☆   South Africa
“Good quality. Delivery to Johannesburg took 12 days — acceptable. Would have given 5 stars with faster freight.”
NK40B / NK40C Z=10 Coupling Sprocket · February 2025
Brett M.  ★★★★★   New Zealand
“Perfect for our irrigation pump coupling refurbishment. Fitted both sprockets and new chain in under an hour.”

Найчастіші запитання

►  How many teeth do I need for a coupling sprocket pair?
Both coupling sprockets must have the same tooth count. The most common tooth counts are 9, 10, 11, and 12. More teeth = smoother operation but larger coupling diameter.
►  What chain do I use with coupling sprockets?
Roller chain coupling assemblies use a length of double-strand (duplex) roller chain in the appropriate pitch. The chain pitch must match the sprocket pitch exactly.
►  How much misalignment can a roller chain coupling tolerate?
Typically ±1° angular misalignment and ±0.5 mm parallel offset at the rated torque. Misalignment beyond these limits increases chain and sprocket wear significantly.
►  Do you supply the complete coupling set (sprocket pair + chain)?
Yes. We can supply matched pairs of coupling sprockets with the appropriate length of duplex chain and chain housing (cover) as a complete coupling kit. Contact us for full kit pricing.
►  What is the maximum torque for the NK80B coupling sprocket?
Torque capacity depends on tooth count and chain pitch. For NK80B Z=10, typical rated torque is 350–500 Nm depending on speed. Contact our engineering team for a precise calculation for your application.
  1. Finish-bore both coupling sprockets to the respective shaft diameters; cut keyways to drawing.
  2. Mount sprockets on their respective shafts; align shafts using a dial indicator — target less than 0.1 mm TIR on coupling hub face.
  3. Wrap the duplex roller chain around both sprockets and close with a connecting link.
  4. Install the chain coupling housing (cover) if required for guard compliance or lubrication retention.
  5. Verify shaft alignment monthly during the first 3 months of operation and re-check after any unexpected load or vibration event.
