QD Sprockets
Nitro Chains QD (Quick Disconnect) sprockets are designed for easy installation and removal. These sprockets are a great solution for applications requiring frequent maintenance or replacements. QD Sprockets feature a special tapered bushing system that allows for a secure connection to a shaft.
Benefits of Nitro Chains QD Sprockets
- Easy Installation & Removal: The QD system facilitates straightforward assembly and disassembly without the need for extensive machinery downtime. Simply bolt the hub into the sprocket, and it compresses onto the shaft for a secure fit.
- Flexibility: These sprockets can accommodate different shaft sizes through the use of interchangeable bushings, reducing the need to purchase multiple sprockets for different shafts. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for maintenance and when dealing with multiple machinery setups.
- Durability & Performance: Made from 1045CD Steel, Nitro Chains QD Sprockets offer superior strength. The hardened teeth enhance wear resistance, ensuring longer service life even under demanding conditions. A black oxide coating adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion.
- Superior Holding Power: The tapered bushing system increases the surface contact area with the shaft, providing a tighter grip compared to traditional sprockets, which translates to better torque transmission and reduced slippage.
