Sprocket

Excavator Undercarriages Information
  • What is an Idler Sprocket?

    Idler sprockets are non-driven components in track-driven machinery that guide and maintain tension in the track chain. Found in excavators, bulldozers, and compact track loaders, they work with rollers and...

  • How Does a Steel - Split Sprocket Work?

    Steel-split sprockets are two-piece sprocket assemblies designed for effortless installation and replacement in heavy machinery. The split design allows the sprocket to be bolted around a shaft without disassembling adjacent...

  • What is the Speed Ratio of the Sprocket?

    The speed ratio of a sprocket is the proportional relationship between the rotational speeds of two connected sprockets in a chain drive system. Calculated by dividing the number of teeth...

  • What is a Driven Sprocket?

    A driven sprocket is a toothed wheel that transfers rotational force from a chain or track to a machine's driven component. Commonly found in excavators, industrial equipment, and automotive systems,...

  • How Does an Active Sprocket Function?

    Active sprockets are rotating components in excavator undercarriages that directly transfer engine power to track chains via interlocking teeth. Designed with hardened steel alloys and precision tooth profiles, they convert...

  • What Material is the Sprocket Made From?

    Sprockets are primarily manufactured from hardened steel alloys like 1045 carbon steel or 4140 chromium-molybdenum, engineered to withstand extreme stress in heavy machinery. AFTparts utilizes induction-hardened 4140 steel in their...

  • What is the Pitch of the Sprocket?

    Sprocket pitch is the center-to-center distance between two adjacent teeth measured along the pitch circle, and it must match the pitch of the chain or track for smooth, efficient power...
