Product catalog summary

Tsubaki SMART TOOTH™ Overview
Tsubaki SMART TOOTH technology provides a proactive maintenance solution for drive systems by using patented Wear Indicator pins on sprocket teeth. These indicators help determine when a sprocket is within wear tolerance or needs replacement, preventing unscheduled downtime and reducing costs associated with critical drive system components.

Specifications and Availability

Available for ANSI 100 through 240 pitch sprockets and Engineering Class sprockets.
Options include carbon steel and stainless steel, with hardened and non-hardened teeth.
Available in Type A (no hub extension), Type B (one-sided hub extension), and Type C (two-sided hub extension).
Compatible with Taper-Lock® and QD® style sprockets.

Value and Benefits

Extends chain life through predictable maintenance.
Eliminates guesswork associated with worn sprockets.
Reduces overall equipment ownership costs.
Provides early warning of potential drive failures.
Allows maintenance scheduling based on wear rate.

Ideal Industries and Applications

Oil and Gas Exploration: Coiled Tube Injector, Draw Works.
Mining: Rotary Breakers, Feeder Breakers, Reclaimers, Drill Rigs, Shuttle Car.
Cement: Bucket Elevators, Conveyor Systems, Rotary Drive Systems, Reclaimer Systems.
Other: Pin Ovens, Amusement Parks, Foundries, Asphalt Plants, Sugar Conveyors and Crushers.

Operational Theory
Wear Indicator pins are strategically placed on the thrust faces of sprocket teeth to show wear levels. Figure 1 illustrates the placement and function of these indicators. Figure 2 compares new and worn sprockets, highlighting the impact of wear on chain engagement and the importance of timely maintenance.

Conclusion
Tsubaki SMART TOOTH sprockets, identifiable by their special blue coating, offer a reliable solution for maintaining drive systems and preventing catastrophic failures.

TSUBAKI SMART TOOTH WHEN FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION Wear Indicator Tsubaki SMART TOOTH offers users the ability to identify and schedule drive system maintenance before critical component failure occurs.Angle Pressure Strategic placement of our patented Wear Indicator pins on one or more Direction sprocket teeth provides visual indication that a sprocket is still within the allowable wear tolerance, or that it needs to be replaced. When factoring in the cost of critical drive system components, implementation of Tsubaki Wear Indicator technology makes sense for applications that are driven by capital...
