NATO Supply Class 3020 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 30, which is dedicated to Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment.

NATO Supply Class 3020 specifically focuses on Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain. These components play a crucial role in the mechanical power transmission process, enabling the transfer of power from one component to another within a system.

Gears are rotating mechanical devices with teeth that mesh with other gears to transmit power and motion. They are commonly used in various applications, such as automobiles, machinery, and industrial equipment.

Pulleys are wheel-like devices with a grooved rim designed to support and guide belts or ropes. They are used to transmit power and change the direction of force in systems like conveyor belts, elevators, and engines.

Sprockets are toothed wheels that engage with a chain or belt to transmit power and motion. They are commonly found in bicycles, motorcycles, and industrial machinery.

Transmission chains are flexible, linked chains that transmit power between two or more sprockets. They are commonly used in motorcycles, bicycles, and industrial machinery.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 3020 encompasses gears, pulleys, sprockets, and transmission chains, which are essential components in mechanical power transmission systems.

Supply Items Included in Federal Supply Class 3020 Supply Items Included in Federal Supply Class 3020

What is a Block Chain? 12 Items
A Block Chain (CHAIN,BLOCK) is a power transmission chain, consisting of laminated or solid blocks and alternate side plates held together by pins and designed in such a manner as to conform to the teeth of a sprocket wheel over which it runs.
What is a Sprocket Wheel? 29 Items
A Sprocket Wheel is a toothed wheel whose teeth or sprockets are designed to be engaged with the links of a pitch chain, track, or the like. It is usually used for transmitting power.
What is a Roller Chain? 22 Items
A Roller Chain (CHAIN,ROLLER) is a flexible mechanical device consisting of one or more rows of links used for conveying or power transmission. The link side plates are flat or offset and are spaced apart by rollers, bushings and/or pins. The chain mates with a sprocket with an articulating action. The non-rotating bushing type chain is limited to that designated by the American National Standards Institute as "roller chain". Excludes CHAIN, BLOCK.
