WHY CHOOSE TSUBAKI SMART TOOTH ® SPROCKETS
Choosing the right sprocket goes a long way in maximizing the life of your chain and operations. Keep your operations ahead of costly downtime with Tsubaki SMART TOOTH ® sprockets. These sprockets make it easier to proactively identify and schedule drive system maintenance before critical component failure occurs. Over time in service, the sprocket tooth profile area is reduced due to induced load created by the chain roller.
FOR OPERATIONS WHERE FAILURE ISN’T AN OPTION, THERE’S SMART TOOTH ®
HOW SMART TOOTH ® MAKES YOUR OPERATIONS SMARTER Tsubaki SMART TOOTH ® sprockets tell you when they need replacing. The strategic placement of our Wear Indicator pins on one or more sprocket teeth provides visual indication that a sprocket is still within the allowable wear tolerance, or that it needs to be replaced.
