Definition: What’s the role of Sprocket for earthmoving equipment?

Sprocket is in the back of the track frame. Because it is fixed on the track frame, it has no shock absorption function. If sprocket moves forward, it will not only cause the abnormal wear of Sprocket and the track, but also have adverse effects on the track frame. The track frame may have early cracking.



Maintainence:

The sprockets should normally be replaced at the same time as worn out tracks. Effects of worn sprockets include:

ü Accelerated track wear.

ü Slipping in tracks causing shock loadings to drive motor.

ü Increased likelihood of de-tracking and subsequent damage to tracks.

ü Tearout of the metal inserts in a rubber track.
