Conveyor Sprocket: Introduction Conveyor sprockets are used in conveyor systems to drive the chain. These are saw-toothed gears that are used in combination with conveyor belts or conveyor chains. The profiled wheels connect with a conveyor chain or belt to transmit rotary motion. Sprockets have extensive application and are used in conveyor belts, cars, motorcycles, and other machinery. They are either used to transfer rotatory motion between two shafts where gears are unsuitable or to impart liner motion to track and tape etc. Most of the conveyor sprockets are made of cast iron. However, sprockets made from prefabricated steel are becoming fairly popular these days. Conveyor sprockets made of high quality plastic are also increasingly popular due to their widespread application. Key Drivers of the Global Conveyor Sprocket Market Increasing usage of conveyor belts in various end-use industries is anticipated to be one of the key driving factors for the growth of this m...
