    Sprockets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drive Sprockets. Sprockets, For Single Strand.

    For Single Strand

    Sprocket teeth mesh with your roller chain to smoothly transmit power. These U.S.-made sprockets have machined teeth for a more precise fit than flame-cut or punched teeth, allowing them to glide in and out of the chain to reduce wear and extend chain life.
    Steel—Steel is strong, but best for dry environments since moisture will cause it to rust.
    Plain Bore—Plain bore sprockets give you options—machine a custom bore, weld, or press-fit them in place. They're sized to the minimum shaft diameter listed and are machinable up to the maximum.

    Metal Spur Gears

    Our strongest spur gears for transferring motion. They’re better than plastic gears for high-load, high-speed, and heavy duty applications. Combine a gear and rack to convert rotary motion into linear motion. To minimize your footprint, mount one or more standard gears inside of an internal gear.
    Combine gears with different numbers of teeth to change speed and torque in your assembly. For components to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch/module.

    Metal Worms and Worm Gears

    Worm and

    Gear Sold

    Worm gears use screw threads to make large reductions to shaft speed while transmitting motion at a right angle. They transmit motion from worm to gear and cannot be reversed. For gears and worms to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle, pitch/module, number of thread starts, and thread direction. These worms are compatible with plastic worm gears.

    Small Gears

    Bevel gears provide right-angle speed reduction. They're a type of miter gear installed so that one gear is smaller than the other to achieve speed ratios ranging from 3:2 to 5:1. All are made of carbon steel for good strength.
    A complete set consists of a large gear and a small gear, also known as a pinion (sold separately). For the gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same face width, pitch or module, and pressure angle.
    Speed Ratio—The ratio by which shaft speed is reduced when transferring motion from the smaller to the larger gear. To increase shaft speed, transfer motion from the larger to the smaller gear. Changing shaft speed also changes torque: as speed decreases, torque increases. To achieve the speed ratio listed, match it across a set of compatible gears.

    High-Power Metal Helical Gears

    The helical teeth on these gears stay in contact longer than straight teeth, which allows them to transmit higher loads at higher speeds than spur gears.
    Crossed Gears
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Helical Gears. High-Power Metal Helical Gears, Crossed Gears.
    Crossed helical gears, also known as screw gears, can be configured to transmit motion at a 90° angle or in a straight line. To transmit motion at a 90° angle, pair two gears with the same tooth direction. To transmit motion in a straight line, make sure to get one left-hand and one right-hand gear.
    For gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch/module. To change speed and torque in your assembly, pair two gears with different numbers of teeth.

    Compared to nylon gears, these metal ratchet gears are better for high-load, high-speed, and heavy duty applications. Used to prevent unwanted motion in jacks, tie downs, clutches, and winches, ratchet gears have sloped teeth that allow motion in one direction and prevent it in the other.

    Plastic Spur Gears

    Made of plastic, these spur gears run more quietly than metal gears and have good corrosion and chemical resistance. However, they’re not as strong as metal gears, so they’re best for light duty applications. Combine a gear and rack to convert rotary motion into linear motion.
    Combine gears with different numbers of teeth to change speed and torque in your assembly. For components to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch/module.
