A Smarter Approach to Identifying Sprocket Wear
Monitoring for chain elongation is a critical part of ongoing system maintenance, but did you know it is equally important to inspect sprockets for signs of wear?
Over time, the sprocket tooth profile area gets worn down by the chain roller. The reduction in the sprocket tooth profile area can result in poor fit and alignment, accelerating chain wear. This can eventually lead to tension loss, slippage, a jumped chain, and costly downtime.
