A useful field note for measuring sprocket bore, keyway, hub diameter, and length through bore pairs sprocket bore with keyway depth. That keeps the decision tied to the actual chain drive rather than a visual match.

Keyway width and depth are separate dimensions<\/h2>\n<p >Width controls key side fit; depth controls radial seating and key height. A worn keyway may appear wider than its original standard size, so compare with the shaft and key.

Record the actual hub outside diameter at the machined section. The practical check for hub diameter controls remaining wall section is to connect the observed condition to keyway depth, then confirm that length through bore does not introduce a second compatibility limit.
