ABSTRACT:
A split power transmission element, such as a sprocket, mountable on a driven shaft. A pair of substantially identical sprocket halves each include a pair of aligned, hollow, fastener sleeves extending diagonally through the plane of the sprocket. A pair of fasteners within the sleeves join the sprocket halves to each other and clamp the sprocket onto the shaft. The diagonal orientation of the fastener sleeves permits convenient disassembly of the sprocket from an upwardly located, axially displaced position. The sprocket halves are substantially identical and can be economically molded using a single mold. A keyway insert distributes driving forces throughout the sprocket hub and increases the maximum torque capacity of the sprocket.
