Ever wonder what it takes a bicycle, motorcycle or any other machinery for that mater to move. Most people would say, humans make them move, they are probably speaking in the literal sense. There is whole mechanism involved in making the machinery to make them move. Lets take the example of bicycle, simplest machine, It contain chain which meshes with teethed wheel and we initiate them using paddles, in this way a bicycle moves.
Going by the example of bicycle or motorcycle, these teethed wheel is called sprocket which meshes with chain or chain track. They transmit rotary motion between the two shafts, here gear is not able to do it. These shafts are also needed to connect to their end to transmit power, it is the coupling which provide that requisite hold on these shafts. Though a gear system is different from sprocket. It is also rotating machine the only difference being it meshes with two wheels in place of the chain. These gears can change the speed, direction and magnitude of the source of power and make it to run. Hence these sprockets, casing , coupling and gears make the whole machine to work according to the needs of human beings.
As far as applications are concerned, these engineering components find their vast usage in automobile industries to give high speed to these modern vehicles such as bikes, cars. These sprockets and gears are used in warfare tanks where chain track is moved with these teethed sprockets. Chains and couplings are used in modern machinery and conveyors with sprockets. Gears have always been in demand due to their speed and controlling mechanisms. These products only make life easier for the humans decreasing their workload and increasing their efficiency with cost and time.
Owning to growing demand of these engineering components across the world more and more companies are coming who are engaged in manufacturing and exporting these chains and other engineering components. They are also updating their infrastructure and investing more in latest technology and precise engineering. They are specially stressing on the fact that customers only demand high performing and durable products that last really long. And if a company can leverage on these features it can earn rich and high dividends.
