Sprockets


Finished Bore	For Double 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.

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.

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.

Gears


14 1/2° Pressure Angle, Round Bore	14 1/2° Pressure Angle, Keyed Bore

14 1/2° Pressure Angle—A former industry standard, 14½° pressure angle gears are often found in older machinery.

Nylon—Nylon gears are wear resistant, but will swell and weaken over time when wet.

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.

Gears


20° Pressure Angle Round Bore	Gear with Round or Round/Machinable Bore	Gear with Keyed Bore and Set Screw

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.

Stainless Steel—Stainless steel gears resist rust in damp and wet environments, so they're commonly used in food-processing plants and other areas with frequent cleaning.

Plain Bore—Gears with a plain bore have a large hub diameter so you can machine them to fit your shaft.

Save space without losing power. Insert a standard spur gear inside one of these gears for a compact assembly that smoothly transmits 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.

Timing Belt Pulleys

Finished Bore

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.

Steel—Strong but best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum—Won't rust in wet environments and one-third the weight of steel and iron. However, aluminum pulleys are not as strong as iron and steel.

Finished Bore—Mount these pulleys onto the shaft and secure with a set screw—no machining required.

Plastic Timing Belt Pulleys

Naturally rust resistant and lightweight, these plastic pulleys are ideal for machines that require frequent washdowns. Trapezoidal teeth, the original tooth profile, mesh with matching belts to transmit power without slipping.

Finished Bore—Mount these pulleys onto the shaft and secure with a set screw—no machining required.

Plain Bore—Do it your way—machine the bore to your exact shaft size or add a set screw or keyway.
