K&W Transmissies also produces sprockets and gears from nyon, custom-made in various sizes and varieties. Sprockets made from nylon are often applied in the food industry. Two of the many advantages of nylon are, that it offers a low noise level and it is resistant to corrosion. With the use of this type of sprocket one must take into account a lower power transmission.
A sintered bronze bushing is used as the sprocket rotates about the axis and a low friction coefficient is desired. It also provides the solution if lubrication has limited applicability. Because sintered bronze is a porous material, the pores in the matrix can be filled with oil, which forms a lubricating film between the shaft and the tread.
In principle, all sprockets can be zinc-plated.
Lantern gear toothing on sprockets can be used when the spanned arc of the chain in the sprocket is smaller than 90°.
For some years now we have been purchasing various products from K&W Transmissies, which we as end users have profited from considerably. In particular, we appreciate the company’s commitment, its guidance and its excellent service, all of which have ensured the development of a pleasant cooperation.
