These sprockets feature teeth that are not heat-treated or hardened, making them ideal for applications where moderate load capacity and less intense wear are expected. Non-hardened sprockets are typically used in applications with lower-speed operations or environments where wear is not a significant concern.
Hardened teeth sprockets are designed with heat-treated teeth for enhanced strength, durability, and wear resistance. The hardened teeth make these sprockets suitable for high-load, high-speed applications or environments where durability and performance are critical. These sprockets are commonly used in more demanding industrial applications, offering longer service life and reliable performance under tough conditions.
For applications that require quick and direct mounting to a shaft, finished bore sprockets offer a convenient and efficient solution with no additional machining required.
