Default Carrier sprockets

Hey folks, I am wanting to make some spare sprockets for my carrier, is there a correct CAD file out in our community that I could use to get some cut ?

Also can F type sprockets be used on the later style drums and vice versa ?

Cheers


Richie

Richie,
I have a cad file for a sprocket, however the price was such that getting one sent from Australia seemed cheaper!

'F' series sprockets are interchangeable between U.C. Marks.

Alastair what grade steel was required ? I am wondering weather they need to be heat treated etc ?

Not sure, a grade that is flame hardenable as I believe only the teeth are hard with a softer core for toughness. They need to be plasma profiled then final machined on a lathe for the bolt holes, ID, chamfers and tooth profile. I was quoted £175 just for a mild steel profiled blank version to trial on.

This a jpg of the CAD I did, can send you the .dwg file if you like:

Arthur send a private message to Andrew Rowe on this forum about sprockets.
Andrew has previously advertised Australian pattern carrier sprockets for sale on this forum, but I do not know the current situation.

The Australian sprocket would be able to be used on a riveted carrier if one shoulder (they are on both sides of the sprocket) was to be machined (turned) off. The shoulder is about 3 or 4 ml. thick. Removing the shoulder would put the sprocket centre line back in the centre of the track.
Riveted carrier ones have no shoulders.
The pitch and mounting hole pattern are the same between the two types of carriers.
