Double-toothed sprockets can be found either completely or in two tooth steps. Complete tooth actions 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 teeth can be used after that, and the sprockets can remain in the system.

In order to boost the life cycle of a chain drive a lot more, sprockets can be manufactured with half tooth steps. With every rotation the chain joints move one tooth forward in the meshing. This reduces the wear of the chain and the tooth edges. This type of toothing is often used when, because of the respective design, just minor deflections can be realised.

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

Dual pitch roller chains are produced according to the particular order and customers' specifications.
