ABSTRACT:
A plurality of fastening plates are used to securely connect a plurality of teeth segments to a support member to form a sprocket wheel. Each of the fastening plates has a plurality of threaded through holes and a plurality of threaded fasteners engage the threaded holes to secure the teeth segments to the support member. Each of the fastening plates also has a flat planar surface which contacts the teeth segments and provides a large area of clamping surface contact. Each fastening plate spans a joint between adjacent teeth segments and contacts a portion of at least two adjacent segments. Because of the large clamping surface area provided by the flat planar surfaces of the fastening plates, potential for tangential slippage of the teeth segments under load is greatly reduced.
