Sprocket/Segment

Function of Excavator Sprocket Segment:

The primary function of a excavator sprocket segment is to engage with the track links and drive the tracks, providing the necessary traction for the excavator to move. The segments are designed to mesh precisely with the track links, ensuring smooth and efficient track movement.

GT Provides Material and Heat Treatment Requirements With High Standard

• Castings must be produced following all dimensional and geometric specifications defined in engineering drawings and standards.
• Prior to machining, castings undergo annealing to eliminate any residual internal stresses from solidification.
• Surfaces must be cleaned of sand and impurities. Pitch and alignment between teeth must be controlled to an accuracy of ±5μm.
• Heat treatment involves modulating the hardness profile through the sprocket thickness.
• Quenching and tempering attain a surface hardness of HRC48-54 over a case depth of 5-9mm. Core hardness must exceed HRC28. Microstructures within the case should reach stages M4-6 on the metallurgical scale.
• Mechanical properties testing confirms tensile strength exceeds 620MPa and yield strength is above 375MPa. This level of strength and controlled hardness profile provides optimal wear resistance, fatigue life, and durability in demanding transmission applications.
