RUD tooth segment with raised link support

Inserting a new tooth segment with increased link contact / larger pitch circle compensates for chain wear and increases the life cycle of the complete sprocket in your conveyor system. Sprocket discs and individual teeth, optimally adapted to the percentage chain extension given at the time of replacement. Available in the dimensions 14 × 50 to 38 × 144 for all multi-part sprockets.

Areas of application & advantages of tooth segments with raised pontic support

Areas of application

Before: Chain runs on
Indicators for excessively worn chain:

  • Uneven running
  • Crescent formation on rear tooth flank
  • Backlash used up
  • Strong vibration on the drive
  • Chain only falls onto the chain link support of the teeth after several teeth

After: The chain wear is compensated for by inserting a new tooth segment with a larger pitch circle.
The solution:

  • Inverted tooth sprockets with increased link contact of the tooth segments
  • Replaceable tooth segments / individual teeth increase the life cycle of the complete sprocket

Advantages

  • Chain wear is compensated by new tooth segment
  • Increased chain life cycle
  • Risk of chain skipping due to wear-related chain elongation is reduced
