7. Usage Limitations
The usage limits for each part of the conveyor chain are described below, so please periodically inspect each part for wear.
This usage limit is a value determined based on the performance of the conveyor chain itself. If there is a limit in the use of the conveyor itself, use that as the standard.
Replace the chain and sprockets at the same time.
7.1 Limits of use of each part
7.1.7 Sprocket tooth surface wear and side wear
If the chain engages with a sprocket with worn teeth, the chain may wear out faster. Please inspect your sprockets regularly, just like your chain.
- 1) Use the diagram below as a guide for the wear limit of the sprocket tooth surface.
Tooth surface wear
Wear on the sides of the teeth
- 2) If the teeth are worn, we recommend replacing it. If tooth root is worn, do not use it in reverse.
