Plastic Sprocket Gears

Produced by Feida Machinery factory,plastic sprocket gears are wheels with teeth that engage with a chain to create a reliable drive system.This drive system is typically used for long-distance transmission because the length of chain can be adjusted.

Product Parameters

Chain Type: 08A, 10A, 12A, 16A, 20A, etc.; custom sizes are also available according to conveyor chain specifications.

Number of Teeth: 8T, 10T, 12T, 15T, 20T, etc.

Pitch (P): Must match the chain pitch, such as 12.7 mm, 15.875 mm, 19.05 mm, etc.

Material: POM, PEEK, Nylon, etc.

Operating Temperature: Varies depending on the plastic material.

Wear Resistance: Depends on the material, load, speed, and lubrication conditions.

Customization: Custom manufacturing is available according to drawings, samples, or specific dimensions.

Common Classification

Common types include single-strand,double-strand,multi-strand,plate,hub,metal-insert,conveyor chain ,and roller chain plastic sprocket.

Manufacturing Process

Feida Machinery provides customized production according to different application requirements.The production flow is as follow:

Material Selection → Raw Material Preparation → Mold Manufacturing / Material Preparation → Injection Molding or CNC Machining → Tooth Profile Machining → Bore and Keyway Machining → Deburring → Dimensional Inspection → Chain Engagement Testing → Cleaning → Packaging → Shipping

In terms of Plastic sprocket gears Forming,we use injection molding for mass production and cnc machining for samples/prototpes.

Injection Molding: Plastic material is heated and melted before being injected into the mold cavity. Under controlled pressure and temperature, the material undergoes filling, packing, and cooling before the finished sprocket is removed from the mold.It is particularly suitable for mass production because it offers high production efficiency and good dimensional consistency.

CNC Machining: Allows manufacturers to produce bore holes, hubs, keyways, and tooth profiles directly according to CAD drawings, making it highly suitable for custom and non-standard plastic sprockets.

Main Advantages

Lightweight: Can weigh as little as one-fifth of a steel sprocket, reducing inertia.

Quiet operation: The damping properties of plastics significantly lower running noise.

Lubrication-free: Most plastics are self-lubricating, eliminating the need for grease – clean and maintenance-free.

Corrosion resistance: Resistant to moisture and most chemicals; do not rust.

Chain-friendly: The slight elasticity of plastic teeth reduces wear on the metal chain.

Electrical insulation: Non-conductive, no static issues.

Food-grade options: Many plastics meet FDA and USDA standards, suitable for food and pharmaceutical industries.
