Tsubaki Smart Tooth Sprockets Utilize Patented Wear Indicator Technology
Melissa Larson | March 2, 2015
U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission, LLC has introduced Tsubaki SMART TOOTH. Tsubaki SMART TOOTH sprockets utilize a patented wear indicator technology that allows customers to identify and schedule drive system maintenance before critical component failure occurs. Strategic placement of our patented wear Indicator pins on one or more sprocket teeth makes it easier than ever to visually identify that a sprocket is still within allowable wear tolerance, or that it needs to be replaced. Understanding when to replace a Smart Tooth sprocket is simple–friction from chain pressure wears down the material of a sprocket tooth and when the wear Indicator pin becomes visible it is time to replace the sprocket.
Tsubaki SMART TOOTH wear indicator pins come standard on three sprocket teeth ensuring they are visible on any application no matter which part of the sprocket is covered. In addition, all Tsubaki SMART TOOTH sprockets are shipped with a special blue coating making it easy to identify which sprockets have wear indicators.
U.S. Tsubaki offers SMART TOOTH on a wide variety of engineering class and roller chain sprockets for a variety of applications including Mining, Cement, Asphalt, Oil & Gas and many more. To learn more about SMART TOOTH, the Tsubaki SMART TOOTH brochure can be downloaded or requested at http://www.ustsubaki.com/request-literature.html.
