Retlaw Industries is a leading American manufacturer of high-performance, injection-molded plastic roller chain sprockets. Engineered to be a quiet, corrosion-proof and lightweight alternative to metal, our sprockets are trusted in demanding industrial applications across the country.
We specialize in producing both standard ANSI sizes and fully custom roller chain sprockets, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for your power transmission needs.
Why Choose Plastic Sprockets for Your Roller Chain System?
Our thermoplastic sprockets deliver significant advantages over traditional metal sprockets, improving performance and reducing your total cost of ownership.
- Eliminate Corrosion & Reduce Maintenance: Unlike metal, our plastic sprockets will never rust. This makes them the ideal choice for washdown environments, food production, agricultural applications, and any machinery exposed to moisture or chemicals.
- Reduce Noise & Extend Chain Life: Plastic is naturally quieter and less abrasive on roller chains than metal, leading to smoother operation and longer chain service life.
- Lightweight with High Impact Strength: Reduce the overall weight and inertia of your system without sacrificing durability. Our engineered plastics are designed to withstand significant shock loads.
- Cost-Effective Precision: Through precision injection molding, we deliver high-quality, tight-tolerance sprockets at a more competitive price point than machined metal.
