A sprocket, sprocket-wheel or chain-wheel is a profiled wheel with teeth that mesh with chain links. When the sprocket rotates, the teeth pull the chain and move the chain along with the load. This operation provides simple and controlled rotational movement of large equipment and machinery.
Sprockets are fabricated to precisely fit with specific chains and handle specific loads.
Unless the sprocket is just the right fit for the chain, it can’t pull the chain correctly and it may result in slip or seize. Incorrectly chosen sprockets can also break down—they may wear fast and teeth may chip or break off. Sprockets that fit their chains, on the other hand, can last a long time without breaking down, even in heavy-load conveyor system applications.
