Any harm to the teeth surfaces of the sprocket diminishes the lifestyle with the conveyor chain.
With typical sprockets, significantly worn sprocket teeth had been repaired by teeth padding or the entire sprocket was replaced. In both case, repair was pricey and with teeth padding, accuracy was impaired. We developed new sprockets with detachable teeth for independent replacement. This sprocket is highly rated by our clients for that dramatic financial savings in expense and time.
Construction
The teeth is often replaced by two procedures: individual tooth substitute or sectional teeth replacement.
The bolts and nuts used for mounting the teeth on to the sprocket are spot-welded to prevent loosening.
The respective structures are illustrated within the appropriate.
The above photo and also the best proper illustration demonstrate a sprocket for individual tooth substitute. Because the joint face in between the replaced teeth and the sprocket is formed within a exceptional arc, the bonding accuracy is substantial plus the sprocket power is enhanced. In addition, since the load acting about the mounting bolts is decreased, there is much less chance of loosening. This sprocket development is patented.
You will discover two styles of hubs: cast steel and welded sheet steel hubs. Cast steel hubs are applied for big sprockets getting heavy loads and welded sheet steel hubs for other applications.
