ABSTRACT:
A chain and sprocket system includes a plurality of chains and sprockets. The system includes a central shaft, two chains, and two identical sprockets. Although the two sprockets have identical size, shape, and features, they can be assembled onto the central shaft in different orientations. These orientations are achieved by rotating one sprocket with respect to the other. Assembling one sprocket onto the shaft in a different orientation from a second sprocket results in a system where the outer sprocket teeth of one sprocket are phased with respect to the outer sprocket teeth of the other sprocket. In this way, a phased chain and sprocket assembly is composed of identical sprockets, which eases manufacture and assembly.
