Sprockets are a vital part of any power transmission system that uses chains. Whether in conveyors, agricultural machinery, or heavy industrial drives, the right sprocket ensures smooth operation, reduced wear, and longer equipment life.
At ARS, we supply a wide range of single, double, and triple strand sprockets, helping clients match the correct part to their exact chain and application needs.
What Is a Sprocket?
A sprocket is a wheel with teeth that mesh with a chain. It transfers rotary motion between two shafts or maintains mechanical advantage in systems where belts can’t be used.
Sprockets are commonly used in:
-
Roller chain drives
-
Conveyors
-
Agricultural equipment
-
Construction machinery
-
Packaging systems
Types of Sprockets We Supply
1. Single Strand Sprockets
Designed for single-strand roller chains, these are the most common type. Ideal for general power transmission in lighter-duty applications.
Common uses: Agricultural machinery, small conveyors, light-duty industrial equipment
2. Double Strand Sprockets
These accommodate two strands of roller chain, offering better load handling and power transfer compared to single strand sprockets.
Common uses: Manufacturing lines, heavy conveyors, drive systems with moderate loads
3. Triple Strand Sprockets
Built for three-strand roller chains, these are designed for heavy-duty, high-torque applications where strength and durability are essential.
Common uses: Mining, construction, and high-load industrial systems
Choosing the Right Sprocket
When selecting a sprocket, consider the following:
-
Chain compatibility: Always match the sprocket to the ANSI chain size
-
Number of teeth: Affects speed and torque output
-
Pitch diameter: Must align with the system’s drive ratio
-
Bore size and keyway: Ensure correct fit to your shaft
-
Material and finish: For corrosion resistance or high-wear environments
