What are sprockets?
These are wheels on the circumference of which teeth are formed by machining. Currently, the production of wheels is extremely specialized and precise. Suffice it to say that in most cases machine tools are numerically controlled, and different methods are used depending on the profile of the teeth and the material from which they are made.
The sprocket can be an energy supplier, transmitter or recipient. More precisely, the wheel performs two main functions:
Tensions the chain in motor drives.
- It is part of the propulsion system.
It transfers the drive to the mechanical system.
The sprocket is a key part of the transmission system. It can be found in agricultural and construction machines, cranes, vehicles, lifts, gates, production lines, etc. In other words, it opens, lifts, moves or sets in motion. In many cases, it is simply irreplaceable.
