Drive Sprocket Terms

Rim drive sprockets

Spur drive sprockets

The power from the chain saw’s engine is transferred to the saw 

chain through a centrifugal clutch and drive sprocket. Chain 

saws use two types of drive sprockets: 

Rim  drive  sprocket 

systems

 and 

spur drive sprockets

.

A  rim  drive  sprocket

 is a two piece unit that allows you to 

replace the rim on the drum adaptor assembly as the rim wears 

out.

A spur drive sprocket

 incorporates the centrifugal clutch drum 

and drive sprocket into a single piece and must be changed as 

a complete unit.
