Powder Metal Chain Sprockets

Powdered metal chain sprockets are a vibrant part of our business. Sintered metal sprockets require precise tooth profiles, high core strength, and high durability to allow for maintenance-free, low-noise, high-efficiency chain drives.

Why use powdered metal chain sprockets rather than traditionally machined sprockets?

• Net shape capability
• Minimal or no machining and scrap loss
• Good surface finishes and tribological properties
• Cost-effective, high volume manufacture of complex or unique shapes
• Complex shapes and geometries not practical or impossible with other metal forming processes
• Part-to-part consistency at exacting tolerances
• Long-term performance reliability in critical applications
• Sustainable manufacturing – Green technology

Sintered chain sprockets are extensively used in automotive, industrial and recreational engines. Their precise tooth profiles, high strength and wear characteristics make powder metal the technology of choice.
