    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.
    Wear-Resistant Steel with Hardened Teeth—These sprockets have teeth that are hardened from the tip to the base so they withstand chain contact and wear evenly. That means fewer broken teeth and a longer lifespan than sprockets with unhardened or tip-hardened teeth. Steel is best for dry environments since moisture will cause it to rust.
    Corrosion-Resistant 18-8 Stainless Steel—Won't corrode from frequent washdowns and mild chemicals, including ammonia often found in cleaning solutions.
    Finished Bore—Mount these sprockets onto your shaft and secure with a set screw—no machining required.
    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.

    Flat Sprockets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drive Sprockets. Flat Sprockets.
    Save space and cut weight—these sprockets don’t have a raised hub so they’re best for tight spots and lightweight designs. Bolt or weld them to components and mounting surfaces, or add a custom hub. Although they are versatile, they’re harder to align than sprockets with hubs.
    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.

    Idler Sprockets

    Maintain constant tension on your roller chain to reduce wear and vibration. These sprockets press against the chain to take up slack and rotate freely on bearings to keep the chain moving smoothly. They’re often paired with roller chain tensioners.

    High-Torque Split-Tapered Bushing-Bore Sprockets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drive Sprockets. High-Torque Split-Tapered Bushing-Bore Sprockets, For Single Strand.

    For Single Strand

    Maximize power transfer in high-torque applications. Compatible split-tapered bushings have a tapered barrel that’s split on both sides for a tighter grip than quick-disconnect or taper-lock bushings. Use these sprockets to quickly swap or service parts—no press-fitting or special tools required. Mount a bushing (sold separately) on your shaft, slide the sprocket over it, and tighten the included set screws. As you tighten, the bushing grips the shaft and pulls it into your sprocket for a secure hold.

    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.

    20° Pressure Angle—The current industry standard, these 20° pressure angle spur gears have thicker, stronger teeth than 14½° pressure angle gears.
    14 1/2° Pressure Angle—A former industry standard, 14½° pressure angle gears are often found in older machinery.
    Steel—Steel gears have hard, strong, and wear-resistant teeth, although they will rust when exposed to moisture and corrosive chemicals.
    Brass—Brass gears are easy to machine, so you can add your own mounting holes and make other alterations. They won't rust when exposed to water.

    These racks match with spur gears to convert rotary motion to linear motion. For components to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch/module.

    Keep your drive system in sync. Trapezoidal teeth mesh with matching belts to synchronize motion. With the original tooth profile, these pulleys handle enough torque for most applications. If you need high torque or precise starts and stops, consider curved tooth profiles, such as GT and HTD pulleys.
    Iron—Strong but best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Bushing Bore—Quickly swap or service parts in tight spaces—no press-fitting or special tools required. Mount a bushing (sold separately) on your shaft and slide the pulley over it. As you tighten the included set screws, the bushing grips the shaft and draws it into the pulley, creating a final hold that is more secure than with set screws alone.
