Pulleys and sprockets are employed to transfer rotational energy where gears are unsuitable. A sprocket is a wheel with protrusions along its outer circumference that engage with a chain or belt, whereas a pulley is typically a wheel with a groove that accommodates a rope or cable. Pulleys are categorized based on the type of belt they support. For instance, timing belt pulleys have notched teeth designed to interlock with the teeth on a timing belt, while flat belt pulleys are smooth and lack teeth, as they work with flat, smooth belts.
For over 60 years, SMA has been reliably serving customers with a broad selection of pulleys and sprockets. Specializing in custom manufacturing for precise applications, SMA offers an extensive array of designs and sizes to meet your rotary transmission requirements. Our knowledgeable team can assist you in selecting the right products to bring your project to fruition.

A sprocket is a toothed wheel that engages with a chain, track, or other perforated or indented material. Unlike gears, sprockets do not mesh directly with each other, and unlike pulleys, they typically lack flanges on the sides.
Sprockets are widely used across various industries, including automotive, construction, food processing, glass and plastics, petrochemicals, printing, textiles, farm equipment, and engineering. They serve in applications like conveyors, rotor rollers, and similar drives.
Chain sprockets are manufactured according to British, American, DIN 8187, DIN 8188, ISO R 606, and ANSI 29.1 standards. Available pitch sizes range from 1/4 inch to 2 inches, and sprockets come in plate, simplex, duplex, and triplex types, with either plain bores or taper lock bores as required. Hardened teeth sprockets are also used when applicable.

A shaft is a rotating mechanical component designed to transfer power from one location to another within a system. Power is transmitted to the shaft through tangential forces, which create a torque or twisting moment along its axis. This torque allows the shaft to effectively transfer power to different machines or components that are connected to it.
In many applications, shafts are critical components, enabling the transmission of mechanical energy in engines, motors, and power-driven systems across a wide range of industries. In the dairy industry, shafts are used in processing machinery, such as homogenizers and mixers, ensuring smooth operations in production lines. The fertilizer industry relies on shafts in conveyors, crushers, and pumps to handle bulk materials efficiently. In the cement industry, shafts are essential in kilns, mills, and crushers, facilitating the heavy-duty tasks of material grinding and mixing. Additionally, in the packaging industry, shafts are integral to the operation of automated systems, such as conveyor belts and wrapping machines, ensuring continuous and precise handling of goods.
