- What is the difference between Stainless steel sprockets and carbon steel sprockets?Sprocket is a mechanical element used to cooperate with a chain, usually to transmit power and achieve rotational motion. When used in conjunction with a chain, the sprocket transmits the power of the chain to the rotating shaft to realize the movement or rotation of the object.Sep 18,2023
- What are the types of Coupling?Chain Coupling: Interlocking chains transmit torque and provide flexibility for high-torque applications.Sep 18,2023
Jaw Coupling: Two hubs with elastomeric curved jaws provide simplicity, compact design, and vibration damping.
FCL Coupling: Also known as a floating shaft coupling, it uses a membrane design for angular misalignment compensation.
NM Coupling: Lovejoy couplings use elastomeric spider inserts with curved jaws for flexibility and vibration damping. - Internal Gear Shaping 50° helix angleInternal gear shaping with a 50° helix angle refers to the process of manufacturing internal gears with teeth that have a helix angle of 50 degrees.Sep 14,2023
- HOW TO REPLACE THE CHAIN, SPROCKETS AND BUSHESReplacing the chain, sprockets, and bushes typically involves several steps.Sep 14,2023
- What is the industry sprocket used for ?Industry sprockets are widely used in various industrial applications for power transmission and motion control. They are essential components in machinery, equipment, vehicles, and conveyor systems. Sprockets engage with chains or belts to transmit rotary motion and power between rotating shafts. They are commonly found in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, transportation, agriculture, and logistics.Sep 12,2023
- What is the difference between roller chain and engineering chain?Roller chains are made up of cylindrical rollers connected by links and are commonly used in power transmission systems. Engineering chains, on the other hand, consist of interconnected, flat and elongated plates or links, and are often used in conveyor systems for material handling. The two types of chains have different designs, construction, applications, and load capacities.Sep 12,2023
- what are taper bore sprockets and its advantageTaper bore sprockets are a type of sprocket used in various mechanical systems, especially in power transmission applications like conveyor systems, industrial machinery, and roller chains. These sprockets are designed with a tapered bore, which means the central hole (bore) through which they are mounted onto a shaft is tapered or conical in shape.Sep 11,2023

- Roller Chain Care and MaintenanceDirt and contaminants can cause premature wear and affect the performance of the roller chain. Regularly remove any accumulated dirt or debris from the roller chain using a brush or compressed air.Sep 11,2023
- What is Tooth Harding"Tooth harding" is a heat treatment process commonly used to enhance the hardness and wear resistance of gears and toothed components. In this process, gears or toothed components are first heated to a specific temperature, typically above the critical point, to alter their crystalline structure. Subsequently, rapid cooling, often using oil, water, or gas, is employed to cool the heat-treated region, thereby harding it.Sep 11,2023
- What are 3 types of sprocket?Sprockets are available with 1, 2 or 3 rows of teeth to suit the chain they are working with - simplex, duplex or triplex sprockets.Sep 8,2023
- How To Hobbing Inner Gear?Hobbing the inner gear is a common gear manufacturing process. The general steps for hobbing the inner gear include machine setup, workpiece preparation, hobbing cutter selection, tool setup, determination of cutting parameters, cutting operation, cooling and lubrication, quality control, and finishing steps. It requires specialized equipment and expertise, and the specific steps and techniques may vary depending on the machine and gear design requirements.Sep 5,2023
