Sprocket Segments

• Precision forging: Our sprocket segments are forged and finished under special conditions to ensure a perfect fit and superior strength.
• Advanced heat treatment: Induction hardening guarantees that sprocket teeth and segment groups are highly resistant to wear.
• Fatigue resistance: The steel alloys used are selected for their high resistance to fatigue and friction-induced wear.
• Quick and efficient installation: Segment groups allow for faster replacement without disassembling the entire track, saving time during maintenance.

Differences Between Sprockets and Segment Groups

At Trasteel, we offer both sprockets and segment groups. Sprockets are single-piece components, while segment groups consist of multiple pieces that form a complete sprocket when assembled. This design allows for faster replacement without removing the entire chain—ideal for bulldozers and heavy machinery requiring frequent maintenance.

• Sprockets: One-piece design, ideal for excavators, offering direct and easy mounting.
• Segment groups: Composed of multiple segments, allowing partial replacement without chain removal—perfect for bulldozers.

Wear Patterns and Prevention

Recognizing signs of wear on sprocket segments and segment groups is essential to keeping the undercarriage in optimal condition. Below are common wear patterns and prevention tips:

• Pointed tips: If sprocket teeth become sharp, this may indicate increased chain pitch and early wear.
• Lateral wear: Often caused by misalignment of the tensioner or the intrusion of hard materials like sand or dirt between bushings and the sprocket.
• Chain slack: Visible wear between bushings and pins may require adjustment or replacement of both the sprocket and chain.

Regular inspections and timely replacement of worn components help prevent major damage to the undercarriage.
