Crawler Sprockets for heavy-duty industrial applications require rugged materials and construction. Flame machining these large crawler sprockets ensures accurate tooth profiles to engage and drive their massive crawler tracks.
Rough tooth surfaces notoriously collect dirt, mud and grit, which can establish a channeled wear pattern on crawler track bushings, or cause the track to disengage. Our flame machining process eliminates rough, jagged surfaces that typically come with traditional flame cutting. With a smooth finish and crisp tooth profiles, dirt and debris are freely expelled from the crawler tracks our sprockets are paired with.
Our customers often ask for “special” tooth forms. Examples of their custom crawler requests include more pitch line clearance or mud relief notches, which reduce wear or build-up. With our Flame Machining Technology, we have the ability to meet those requirements.
Cogmatic can build a custom, single-piece or segmented crawler sprocket with up to a 6-inch face width. Our induction hardening process creates a case hardness to handle large loads when used in an undercarriage assembly. Furthermore, the flame machining process ensures accurate chain engagement and excellent wear resistance in our crawler sprockets.
