  • Patent number: 9730456
    Abstract: A chain tensioning sprocket is moveable with a predetermined force into a U-shaped path of a chain to apply continuous tensioning force to the chain. The change in length of the chain is measured by detecting the movement of the chain tensioning sprocket into the U-shaped path of the chain, and measurement of movement of the chain tensioning sprocket indicates a change in the length of the whole chain, which, in turn, indicates the wear on the parts of the chain and the expected operative life of the chain.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 28, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2017
    Assignee: AMF Automation Technologies, LLC
