    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.

    Bushing Bore

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, Border. Curved (HTD) Teeth.
    Curved teeth engage with the matching belt better than standard trapezoidal teeth, so these pulleys transmit about twice the torque. All are compatible with Gates PowerGrip HTD, Omega HP, and Carlisle RPP series.
    Steel and Iron—Strong but best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel—Stands up to wet environments and mild chemicals, such as the ammonia in cleaning solutions.
    Plain Bore—Do it your way—machine the bore to your exact shaft size or add a set screw or keyway.
    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.

    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.

    Ball Bearing

    Ball Bearing—Smoother than smooth—the balls inside these bearings roll nearly friction-free to handle high speeds. All are sealed to keep lubricant in and dust out.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Timing Belt Drive Pulleys. Ultra-High-Torque GT Timing Belt Pulleys.
    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated, Border. Modified Curved (GT) Teeth.
    Pair these pulleys with the strongest timing belts we offer, Ultra-High-Torque GT Timing Belts. They can handle as much torque as roller chain. Their curved teeth fit snugly with matching belts for minimal play (backlash), so these pulleys are good for applications that require precise positioning. All are compatible with Gates Poly Chain GT timing belts.
    Steel and 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.

    Crank up the power and turn down the noise. With curved teeth arranged in a tire-track pattern, these pulleys fit snugly into matching belts. The flush fit reduces play (backlash) for more precise movement and up to 25% less operating noise. Compared to pulleys with trapezoidal teeth, they deliver higher torque with less vibration and smoother performance.

    Pair this chain with sprockets to transmit power between rotating shafts. Like the chain on a bike, the side plates have a figure-eight shape that grips the sprockets without slipping.
    Lubrication is key to smooth operation and long chain life. Routinely apply oil by hand or install an oil dispenser for continuous lubrication.
    Steel—The go-to for roller chain, steel is strong and economical. While proper lubrication helps prevent rusting, it’s not as corrosion resistant as coated or stainless steel.
    Corrosion-Resistant 304 Stainless Steel—Won't corrode from frequent washdowns and mild chemicals, including ammonia often found in cleaning solutions.
    Connecting Link—Use a single link to join both ends of your chain. Start by removing the spring clip or cotter pin from the link’s side plate. Then, slide the link pins into the mating rollers at each end of your chain and snap the clip back on. Also known as master links.
    Adding-and-Connecting Link—An all-in-one link for adding and connecting. It adds a half-pitch length at the roller end, allowing finer length adjustments than full-pitch links. The pin end connects to your chain—except for trade number 25, which requires a separate connecting link. Remove the side plate to install. Also known as half links and offset links.
