The Core Function of Gears
Power transmission: Transferring the rotational motion from power sources such as engines and electric motors to actuating mechanisms, such as vehicle wheels or machine tool spindles.

Materials and Manufacturing Processes for Sprockets
Materials Carbon steel (such as 45# steel) is the mainstream material for manufacturing sprockets, and after quenching and tempering, its hardness can reach HRC 28–32. Stainless steel sprockets are suitable for corrosion-resistant applications such as food-processing machinery, while powder metallurgy is well-suited for the mass production of small sprockets.

Application Scenarios of Sprockets
Industrial equipment Such as mining machinery, textile machinery, escalators, wood-processing equipment, automated parking systems, agricultural machinery, and food-processing equipment, among others.
Core Characteristics of Worm Gears and Worms
A single-stage gear ratio can range from 10:1 to 100:1, and even higher (e.g., up to 1500:1 in indexing mechanisms). For example, a single-start worm (with a lead of 1) paired with a 60-tooth worm wheel yields a gear ratio of 60:1—meaning that for every 60 revolutions of the worm, the worm wheel completes 1 revolution.
