Any injury around the teeth surfaces of a sprocket diminishes the daily life of the conveyor chain.
With traditional sprockets, significantly worn sprocket teeth were repaired by teeth padding or the complete sprocket was replaced. In either case, repair was pricey and with teeth padding, accuracy was impaired. We formulated new sprockets with detachable teeth for independent replacement. This sprocket is extremely rated by our customers for that dramatic savings in value and time.
Construction
The teeth can be replaced by two techniques: person tooth replacement or sectional teeth substitute.
The bolts and nuts made use of for mounting the teeth on to the sprocket are spot-welded to prevent loosening.
The respective structures are illustrated within the appropriate.
The over photograph as well as the best right illustration show a sprocket for person tooth substitute. Because the joint face between the replaced teeth and the sprocket is formed in a unique arc, the bonding accuracy is substantial as well as sprocket strength is enhanced. In addition, because the load acting over the mounting bolts is decreased, there’s less possibility of loosening. This sprocket development is patented.
You’ll find two styles of hubs: cast steel and welded sheet steel hubs. Cast steel hubs are utilised for massive sprockets receiving hefty loads and welded sheet steel hubs for other applications.
