Sprocket

Excavator Undercarriages Information
  • How Many Teeth Does the Sprocket Have?

    Sprocket tooth counts range from 12–54 depending on machinery type and operational demands. Mini-excavators typically use 12–18-tooth sprockets for high torque, while 40–54-tooth models suit large excavators requiring smoother track...

  • What is the Sprocket Type for My Application?

    The optimal sprocket type depends on your machinery’s load, speed, and operational environment. For heavy equipment like excavators, roller chain sprockets (ISO 606 standards) dominate, offering high torque transmission with...

  • What is the Service Factor of the Sprocket?

    The Service Factor (SF) of a sprocket quantifies its capacity to handle loads beyond its rated design, acting as a safety buffer for shock loads, misalignment, or variable operating conditions....

  • How Does a Chain Guide Work with Sprockets?

    Chain guides are components that maintain proper alignment and tension of chains on sprockets in heavy machinery. They prevent derailment, reduce wear, and optimize power transfer by minimizing lateral movement....

  • How Compatible is the Sprocket with Roller Chain?

    Sprocket-roller chain compatibility depends on matching tooth profile, pitch, and roller diameter between components. ANSI/ISO standards define precise dimensions—for example, a #60 roller chain (3/4" pitch) pairs only with a...

  • Why is Stainless Steel Chain Important for Sprockets?

    Stainless steel chains are critical for sprockets due to their superior corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and minimal wear rates. They ensure smooth power transmission in harsh environments like marine,...

  • How Much Load Can the Sprocket Handle?

    The load capacity of a sprocket depends on material strength, tooth design, and operating conditions. High-grade steel sprockets like those from AFTparts handle 3,000–12,000 lbs static load, while dynamic loads...

  • What is the Wheel Diameter of the Sprocket?

    The wheel diameter of a sprocket refers to the measurement across its toothed wheel, critical for compatibility with track systems. AFTparts sprockets feature diameters from 300mm to 800mm, engineered for...
