Abstract
Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a sprocket wear gauge. The sprocket wear gauge comprises a first plate having a first opening of a first diameter and a second plate having a second opening of a second diameter. The first plate is mounted on one end of adjacent sprocket teeth of a plurality of sprocket teeth of a sprocket wheel. The second plate is mounted on an opposite end of the adjacent sprocket teeth of a plurality of sprocket teeth of a sprocket wheel. The first plate and the second plate are attached to each other using screws. A cylindrical pin is placed between the adjacent sprocket teeth and is configured to pass through at least one of the first opening of the first plate and the second opening of the second plate.

A device adapted to be mounted on a sprocket wheel comprising:
- a first plate comprising a first opening of a first diameter;
- a second plate comprising a second opening of a second diameter;
- a cylindrical pin configured to pass between adjacent teeth of a plurality of teeth of the sprocket wheel and through at least one of the first opening of the first plate and the second opening of the second plate, wherein a distance between the adjacent teeth of the plurality of teeth of the sprocket wheel is less than at least one of the first diameter and the second diameter.
A method comprising:
- placing a first plate having a first opening of a first diameter on one face of adjacent teeth of a plurality of teeth of a sprocket wheel;
- placing a second plate having a second opening of a second diameter on an opposite face of the adjacent teeth of the plurality of teeth of the sprocket wheel;
- configuring a pin to pass through at least one of the first opening of the first plate and the second opening of the second plate, wherein the pin is placed between the adjacent teeth of the plurality of teeth of the sprocket wheel, and wherein a distance between the adjacent teeth of the plurality of teeth of the sprocket wheel is less than at least one of the first diameter and the second diameter;
- and
- replacing the sprocket wheel when the pin passes through the first opening of the first plate and the second opening of the second plate.
