A sprocket is a wheel with teeth or cogs that meshes with a chain to transmit motion. It’s commonly used in systems like bicycles, motorcycles, and industrial machinery where rotary motion needs to be transferred between two shafts.

Sprockets are typically made from metal and are designed to engage with the links of a chain. The teeth of the sprocket fit into the chain’s links, creating a mechanism where the rotation of the sprocket causes the chain to move and vice versa.

There are two main types of sprockets:

1. Drive Sprockets: These are attached to the power source (e.g., an engine or motor) and provide the motion to the chain.

2. Driven Sprockets: These are connected to the component that needs to be powered, such as the wheels of a vehicle.

The chain that works with the sprockets is typically made of metal links that form a continuous loop. The chain's links fit into the teeth of the sprockets, creating a system that allows for precise power transmission.

The combination of a sprocket and chain system is essential in applications where gears and pulleys aren't practical, especially for transferring power in a compact form, like in bicycles or motorcycles.Our company specialize in sprocket & chain industry more than 20 years
