Sprocket/Segment

A sprocket, also known as a sprocket segment in some cases, is a critical component in a tracked vehicle’s undercarriage, responsible for driving the track system. It is a toothed wheel that engages with the track links, transferring power from the engine to the tracks, enabling the vehicle to move. Sprockets are typically made from high-strength steel to withstand heavy loads, wear, and harsh operating conditions. They are designed to provide reliable traction, prevent track slippage, and ensure smooth operation on various surfaces. Sprockets are often segmented for easier replacement and maintenance, especially in large construction or mining machinery.
