Heavy-Duty Drive Sprocket

This heavy-duty drive sprocket is a precision-engineered component designed for reliable, high-torque power transmission in chain-driven mechanical systems. It is optimized to deliver consistent performance, withstand heavy loads, and maintain alignment in demanding industrial and mobile equipment applications.

Construction & Materials

Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel, the sprocket undergoes a specialized heat-treatment process of quenching and tempering. This creates a hardened tooth surface (HRC 45–50) for exceptional wear resistance, paired with a tough, ductile core that can withstand impact loads and shock forces. The main body features a precision-machined, smooth metallic finish to reduce friction and improve alignment, while the teeth are treated to resist elongation and fatigue, ensuring a long service life even under continuous operation. The central bore with a keyway provides a secure, slip-free connection to drive shafts.

Design Features

Precision Machined Teeth: The teeth are cut to exact industry standards using CNC hobbing, ensuring a precise profile that meshes smoothly with roller chains. This minimizes chain wear, reduces noise and vibration, and maintains consistent torque transfer even at high rotational speeds.

Large Diameter Flange Design: The wide, flat flange provides a stable mounting surface, allowing the sprocket to be securely attached to hubs or other drivetrain components. The balanced, symmetrical design minimizes rotational vibration, contributing to smoother operation and longer component life.

Keyway Central Bore: The integrated keyway in the central bore creates a positive, torque-resistant connection to the drive shaft, eliminating slippage under heavy loads and maintaining precise rotational alignment throughout the component’s service life.

Performance & Applications

This drive sprocket excels in applications requiring robust, efficient power transmission in chain-driven systems, such as:

Industrial conveyor systems and material handling equipment

Agricultural machinery including tractor drives and harvester mechanisms

Construction equipment like excavator and loader drivetrains

Heavy-duty industrial gearboxes and automated production lines

Its combination of rugged construction, precision engineering, and wear resistance makes it a dependable choice for critical systems where downtime is costly and performance is essential.
