Why does my chain constantly come off the sprocket?


Several issues may cause the chain to come off the sprocket: 

  1. Worn out chain
  2. Worn out sprocket
  3. Using new chain with an old sprocket
  4. Using a new sprocket with a worn out chain
  5. Exit end sprocket not properly aligned
  6. Not enough tension on the chain


Always replace the chain, rollers, sprockets and bearings at the same time.  Replacing the chain or sprocket only will cause the chain to pop, or come off. 


Below is a short video explaining how to attach the chain back onto a ait take up conveyor.
