Tsubaki SMART TOOTH® Sprockets Stop the Guesswork. Just Look for the BLUE!
Over time, the sprocket tooth profile area gets worn down by the chain roller. The reduction in the sprocket tooth profile area can result in poor fit and alignment, accelerating chain wear. This can eventually lead to tension loss, slippage, a jumped chain, and costly downtime. A jumped chain could be a sign your sprockets need to be replaced.

If you’re not sure whether your sprockets need to be replaced, here is a solution for that: Tsubaki’s Smart TOOTH® Sprockets allow users to easily identify signs of wear and schedule drive system maintenance before critical failure occurs. Strategically placed wear indicator pins provide a visual indication that a sprocket is either still within the allowable wear tolerance, or that it needs to be replaced.
