I see this happen on carbide burs almost every day.Its deeply cut and past worn out but it should not have separated.
I see this happen on carbide burs almost every day.
Once the burr is dull the stress (and heat) increases on the brazed joint which eventually gives in and lets go!
Considering the extreme wear of the sprocket neither a new nor used chain could have seated properly causing stress and vibrations whilst being driven resulting in tearing the sprocket off the drum.
As been said by others, there is nothing to salvage, that sprocket payed itself off tenfold - buy a new one!
For various reasons, i.e. part no longer available etc, I wish to remove a worn out spur drive from a clutch drum, and refit with a rim drive hub. I can see many probs ahead, however it seems simple enough at a glance. Has anyone here achieved this with success ?....... Someone somewhere managed to fit the two together easily enough. The method used has always looked like bronze welding rather than brazing to me.
Any enlightened comments would be useful.
Hopefully the chain or chains are not in the same worn out condition as the sprocket.
That one was never brazed, there is a single spot of braze it looks like but it did not flow between the parts. Defective.
