Proactive assessment is the best way to minimize downtime and ensure ongoing reliability. Our technical experts use field measurements and visual observations to monitor each chain and sprocket installation.
Reports typically include:- Current chain elongation measurements
- Normal and abnormal wear observations
- Sprocket and/or traction wheel conditions
- Basic lubrication observations
Not all wear is observable through field inspection. At our production and engineering facility in Ohio, our engineers disassemble and thoroughly analyze the wear of each chain component using state-of-the-art equipment.
Reports typically include:- Assembly and component level observations
- Sprocket and/or traction
- wheel wear levels
- Potential upgrade/en

Prior to implementing Tsubaki’s sealed-joint solution, we were replacing the chain in our large boiler-feed drag conveyors annually. The chains from Tsubaki have now completed their 4th season and are still going strong. To date, we estimate an approximate savings of $350,000. Tsubaki’s progressive thinking and thorough understanding of material handling and power transmission systems benefited our operations significantly.
