Doosan DX255LC-7 Sprocket / Drive Sprocket K1010542 – Heavy-Duty Undercarriage & Drivetrain Component

Description

The Doosan Sprocket (or Drive Sprocket), part number K1010542, is a critical component of your excavator’s undercarriage and drivetrain system. This durable, toothed wheel is securely mounted on the final drive of the excavator. Its essential function is to engage directly with the track chain links, receiving rotational power from the machine’s hydraulic travel motor through the final drive and effectively propelling the excavator forward or backward. This precise and robust interaction with the track chain is paramount for efficient machine movement, optimal traction, and the overall longevity of your excavator’s track system.

This sprocket is confirmed to be compatible with Doosan DX255LC, 250LC-V, and 255LC-V models, and is explicitly listed as a sprocket for the DX255LC. Given the direct lineage and shared undercarriage architecture common in Doosan’s excavator series, the K1010542 sprocket is the correct and highly suitable component for your Doosan DX255LC-7 model, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance that meets or exceeds original equipment manufacturer specifications.

Typically constructed from high-strength alloy steel (such as 35MnB or 40Mn2), this sprocket undergoes rigorous manufacturing processes including forging, casting, and advanced heat treatment. The teeth are meticulously machined and surface-hardened (commonly with a hardened tooth surface, often to HRC50-56 with a depth of 4-10mm) to maximize their resistance to abrasive wear and maintain optimal engagement with the track chain, even under the severe operating loads encountered during heavy excavation work. The robust construction ensures it can withstand the continuous stress of power transmission and the harsh impacts inherent in typical construction environments.

A worn, broken, or improperly fitting sprocket can lead to a cascade of operational issues, including reduced traction, track slippage, accelerated and uneven wear on track links and idlers, and potential damage to the final drive system. These problems compromise the machine’s stability, reduce operational efficiency, and can result in costly repairs and unexpected downtime. Replacing a failing sprocket with a high-quality, OEM-standard part like the K1010542 is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of your excavator’s undercarriage and drivetrain, ensuring smooth and reliable operation, and safeguarding your significant investment in the machine.
