ABSTRACT:
In a chain transmission in which a roller chain transmits power from a driving sprocket to one or more driven sprockets, the sprocket teeth are shaped so that at a location radially outward from the sprocket pitch circle, the distance between the front surface of each sprocket tooth to a radial reference line from the sprocket center through the center of the tooth root, is at least as great as the distance from the centerline to the front tooth surface at the pitch circle. The tooth faces merge smoothly with the tooth gap bottom, the sprocket root diameter is smaller than the root diameter according to ISO standards, and the radius of the arcuate tooth gap bottom is greater than the radius of the chain roller.
