According to the Department of Energy (DOE), manufacturing operations in the US spend $30 billion annually on electricity powering motor-driven systems, leading industrial experts to consider energy-efficient synchronous drive units as an alternative to v-belt drive systems. In addition to energy efficiency, synchronous drives are also used:
- When an industrial application necessitates carrying more torque or horsepower
- To avoid the risk of expensive downtime and routine maintenance costs
- To reduce the overall size of the drive system
- With washdown applications for food processing and beverage facilities utilizing stainless steel sprockets and bushings
- As OEM replacement and engineered systems
Curvilinear belts, bushings, and low-maintenance synchronous sprockets complete a powerful, efficient synchronous drive unit. CBT partner Martin Sprocket & Gear Inc. is helping manufacturers across the globe create these efficient drive units with its line of high-capacity synchronous sprockets.
The ONE You Rely On 
MPC Sprockets are manufactured in various sizes, dimensions, and capacities to meet a variety of industrial requirements, including a wide range of loads, speeds, and demanding applications like blowers, conveyors, pumps, and mixers. Martin stocks these sprockets with reboreable stock bores in addition to taper bushings, producing a positive, press fit to shaft. The MPC Sprockets are also available made-to-order with a QD style bushing or other adapters. Designed to run in today’s high-horsepower applications, these synchronous sprockets provide a relatively quiet alternative to other low-gear, high-torque applications. In addition to less noise, MPC synchronous drives require less maintenance without the need to retention and lubricate the drive.
Need A Synchronous Sprocket? Rely On Martin.
Martin carries the largest inventory of precision manufactured synchronous sprockets from high-quality North American steel or cast iron and offers made-to-order synchronous sprockets in stainless steel, aluminum, and non-metallic materials. Unlike belt companies who source synchronous sprockets out to third-party manufacturers, Martin Sprocket & Gear reliably delivers quality stock and made-to-order synchronous sprockets to meet any emergency timeline. Martin offers re-bores, alterations and made-to-order sprockets in days, not weeks. By utilizing Martin MPC in conjunction with Martin bushings, you know you will benefit from superior quality and component compatibility. Look to Martin, the one you rely on, for efficient synchronous sprockets to complete your drive and get your system running quickly and smoothly. Martin is the CBT Vendor of the Month for February.
