Industrial Stainless Steel Chain Sprocket

Product Description

A chain sprocket is a type of sprocket that is designed to work with a chain to transmit power and motion between two shafts. It consists of a toothed wheel or gear that meshes with the links of a chain to transfer rotational energy from one shaft to another. Chain sprockets are commonly used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, such as machinery, manufacturing, and transportation equipment. They are typically made from durable materials such as steel or cast iron, and are available in a variety of sizes and designs to fit different applications and chains. Some common features of chain sprockets include: 1. Number of teeth: Chain sprockets have a specific number of teeth that correspond to the pitch of the chain they are designed to work with. 2. Pitch diameter: The pitch diameter is the diameter of the sprocket measured at the point where the chain engages with the teeth. 3. Bore diameter: The bore diameter is the diameter of the hole in the center of the sprocket that fits onto the shaft. 4. Hub configuration: Chain sprockets may have a hub or be hubless, depending on the application. 5. Tooth profile: Chain sprockets may have different tooth profiles, such as standard, skip tooth, or double pitch, depending on the chain they are designed to work with. Overall, chain sprockets are an important component in many industrial applications that require the transmission of power and motion between two shafts using a chain. They are typically selected based on factors such as size, pitch, and tooth profile to ensure compatibility with the specific chain and application.
