At TSE, we can fabricate all types of custom sprocket, gear, or conveyor components to meet your application needs. Which do you need? The first question we ask is which do you need? Sprockets and gears are grooved wheels that operate within a machine, but their functions are different. Gears are generally toothed wheels that connect with the teeth on another gear to transmit movement. Sprockets use their teeth to “bite” into or interact with one or more flexible components, like a chain or conveyor belt.

We can make several types of engineered plastic sprockets, including wire belt, roller chain, waste water and mill. Our expertise also cover keyways, setscrews, and A, B and C hubs.

From just a few to a few thousand, our custom-made machined plastic sprockets and gears are lightweight and won’t rust or corrode. They also lessen noise pollution and can reduce the need for lubricants, and in some cases eliminate them.

Considerations

Below are some aspects to consider when you are determining your sprocket or gear. You can also download our Sprocket and Gear Buyers Guide to aid in your decision.
