Sprockets and Idlers

Category overview

What are sprockets and idlers?

Sprockets and idlers are two components of a trenching system that turn and guide the trencher chain. The sprocket is attached to a drive motor, which turns the sprocket and creates rotary motion that moves the chain. The idler is on the opposite end of the trenching system and acts as a pulley that the trencher chain rides against.
