Sprocket Cutting

Hobbs Machine Works began manufacturing custom sprockets in the mid-1940’s and produced its first catalog of stock sprockets in 1950. That tradition expanded substantially when the Hobbs Machine Works became Linn Gear Co. in 1954. Since that time the firm has continued to expand its capabilities and knowledge base. Today the company is among the most experienced and capable sprocket manufacturers in the world. Virtually every employee at Linn Gear is involved with sprocket manufacturing, representing a vast level of experience in producing the best sprockets available anywhere
