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

    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.

    20° Pressure

    Angle

    20° Pressure Angle—The current industry standard, these 20° pressure angle spur gears have thicker, stronger teeth than 14½° pressure angle gears.
    Acetal—Acetal gears absorb less water than nylon gears, so they’re less likely to swell.

    20° Pressure Angle—Rectangular

    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.
    Acetal—Acetal gear racks absorb less water than nylon racks, so they’re less likely to swell.
    Machined—Machined gear racks may be slightly bowed but will straighten out when installed.

    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.
    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.
