Tsubaki Wear Indicator Sprockets

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Tsubaki's patented Sprocket Wear Indicator technology allows users to identify and schedule maintenance of drive systems before critical component failure occurs. This technology is particularly beneficial for applications driven by capital equipment where unscheduled downtime is unacceptable.

Specifications
The Wear Indicator pins are strategically placed on the thrust faces of the sprocket teeth to provide a visual indication of wear. This helps in determining whether a sprocket is within the allowable wear tolerance or needs replacement. The technology is available for ANSI 100 through 240 pitch sprockets, engineering class sprockets with pitch lengths greater than 2", and in both carbon steel and stainless steel materials. Sprockets are available in Type A, B, and C configurations, as well as Taper-Lock® and QD® styles.

Procedures and Benefits
The implementation of this technology extends chain life through predictable maintenance, eliminates guesswork associated with worn sprockets, reduces overall equipment ownership costs, and provides warnings of potential catastrophic drive failures. It allows maintenance scheduling based on the sprocket wear rate.

Applications
Ideal industries for this technology include oil and gas exploration, mining, and cement. Specific applications include coiled tube injectors, draw works, rotary breakers, feeder breakers, reclaimers, drill rigs, shuttle cars, bucket elevators, conveyor systems, rotary drive systems, and reclaimer systems.

Conclusion
Tsubaki's Wear Indicator Sprockets provide a reliable solution for maintaining optimal performance and preventing unexpected downtime in critical drive systems.

TSUBAKI SPROCKET WEAR INDICATOR WHEN DOWNTIME IS NOT AN OPTION Tsubaki’s patented Sprocket Wear Indicator technology Wear Indicator offers users the ability to identify and schedule drive system maintenance before critical component failure occurs. Strategic placement of Wear Indicator pins on one or more sprocket teeth provides visual indication that a sprocket is still within the allowable wear tolerence, 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...
