    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.
    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.

    20° Pressure Angle

    Round Bore

    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.
    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.

    For 90° Shaft Angle

    With straight, conically shaped teeth and a 1:1 speed ratio, miter gears connect two shafts at an angle without changing shaft speed or torque. They're more efficient than spiral miter gears because they create less friction.
    For two gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle, shaft angle, pitch/module, and number of teeth.
    1045 Carbon Steel—Carbon steel gears have hard, strong, and wear-resistant teeth. They’re best for heavy duty and high-torque applications, such as lifting equipment. However, these gears will rust when exposed to moisture or corrosive chemicals. Some gears have hardened teeth for additional wear resistance; gears with teeth that are not hardened can be hardened to fit your application.

    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.
    Hardened—Gears with hardened teeth are more wear resistant than gears with teeth that are not hardened.

    Worm and

    Gear Sold

    Separately

    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.

    Large 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.
