Buying Guide

Match chain size and tooth count

Confirm sprocket tooth count and compatibility with your chain pitch (#35, #40, etc.) to avoid misfit and accelerated wear

Choose the correct bore or use a bushing

Select a sprocket with the correct bore (common options here include 1", 3/4", 5/8") or plan to machine or use a bushing for a secure fit

Prefer hardened or AISI 1045 steel teeth

Hardened teeth or AISI 1045 construction improves wear resistance and longevity in industrial applications

Consider tooth count for speed vs. torque

Higher tooth counts (48–60T) smooth out speed and reduce chain wear, while lower counts (24–30T) increase torque and compactness

Check mounting type and keyway specs

Verify keyway, set screw, or B-type mounting details to ensure proper shaft coupling and secure operation
