How to prolong the use life of sprocket

One of the key ways to prevent this and increase sprocket life is to heat treat your products to increase their hardness at the wear areas through flame and induction hardening methods
(The hardness for the sprocket we can do is range from 38-45 HRC by flame, if have special requirements for even more hardness, can change the material to use 40Crmo or 40Cr with Carburize treatment.)
The other way is to do some surface treatment such as blackening, and zinc plating to anti-rust when used in wet circumstances.
The last import is to choose the proper type of sprockets to match your drive and conveyor system
