MARTIN Sprockets and Pulleys: Catalog, ANSI Chain Pitches, and Availability in Mexico
MARTIN Sprocket & Gear is one of the most established power transmission manufacturers in the North American market. With more than 70 years of experience manufacturing sprockets, pulleys, gears, and couplings, MARTIN offers one of the industry's most comprehensive catalogs of standard ANSI sprockets. BIOSA distributes the complete MARTIN product portfolio in Mexico, providing access to its full catalog along with technical support for proper product selection.
The MARTIN Sprocket Catalog
MARTIN manufactures sprockets in all standard ANSI chain pitches, ranging from ANSI #25 (6.35 mm pitch) to large-pitch sprockets for heavy-duty engineering applications. For each chain pitch, the catalog includes: Steel sprockets: Available from 9 to 120 teeth or more, depending on the chain size, in single-strand (simplex), double-strand (duplex), and triple-strand (triplex) configurations. Gray cast iron sprockets: Designed for low- to medium-speed applications where material cost is an important consideration. Stainless steel sprockets: Ideal for washdown environments and food-processing applications. Nylon and acetal sprockets: Suitable for dry-running operation in food and pharmaceutical environments. Hub configurations: Type A (plate style), Type B (single hub), and Type C (double hub), with QD and Taper Bushed (TB) mounting options.

The MARTIN Pulley Catalog
In addition to sprockets, MARTIN manufactures V-belt pulleys for all standard belt cross-sections, as well as timing pulleys for positive-drive transmission systems: V-belt pulleys: Available for A, B, C, D, and E belt sections, as well as SPZ, SPA, SPB, and SPC narrow-profile belts. Manufactured in cast iron, steel, or aluminum, depending on the application. Multi-groove pulleys: Available with 2 to 8 grooves for high-power, multiple-belt drive systems. Timing pulleys: Offered in MXL, XL, L, H, XH, and XXH profiles for synchronous belts with different load capacities. Variable-pitch pulleys (variable-speed sheaves): Designed for systems that require adjusting the transmission ratio during operation without replacing the pulleys.
How to Order MARTIN Components Through BIOSA
To order MARTIN sprockets or pulleys through BIOSA, you will need either the MARTIN part number or the component's technical specifications, including chain pitch, number of teeth or pulley diameter, hub type, and material. If the part number is unavailable, BIOSA's technical team can identify the correct component based on measurements of the installed part or the machine's specifications. BIOSA maintains inventory of the most commonly used MARTIN part numbers across its branch locations. For catalog items that are not regularly stocked, supply is coordinated directly with MARTIN, and delivery times can be confirmed by the BIOSA sales team at the time of quotation.
