Double-toothed sprockets can be found either in full or in half tooth steps. Full tooth steps are double-toothed to ensure that only a part of the teeth is used effectively. The benefit is that when the chain is definitely exchanged the up to now unutilised tooth can be used after that, and the sprockets can remain in the system.

In order to increase the life cycle of a chain drive a lot more, sprockets can be produced with fifty percent tooth steps. With every rotation the chain joints move one tooth ahead in the meshing. This decreases the put on of the chain and the tooth edges. This sort of toothing is often used when, due to the respective design, just minor deflections can be realised.

Our sprockets and plate sprockets are constructed with C 45, stainless steel, and special materials with a material strength of planetary gearbox between 500 N/mm² and 600 N/mm². Apart from hardened toothing, we also supply surface treated types.

Double pitch roller chains are produced according to the respective order and customers’ specifications.
