How do you measure the diameter of a chain sprocket?

To measure the chain size, if you have just the sprocket, use calipers to measure between the teeth. Measure from center to center of where the chain roller would set between the teeth that will give you the pitch. Once you know the pitch you can determine what chain size you would need.

How are sprockets size?

The sprocket size represents the first two digits in the chain designation. Example: 40A14 is size 40. The number of teeth represents the last two digits in the chain designation. Count the number of teeth.

What is the diameter of a 38 tooth sprocket?

Dimensions: Sprocket Size: 50BS38. Tooth Count: 38. Outside Diameter: 7.920″

What is the pitch diameter of a sprocket?

The sprocket pitch diameter is an imaginary circle through which the chain pin centers move around the sprocket. The pitch diameter is the fundamental design geometry that determines the size shape and form of the sprocket teeth dimensions.

Is standard for chain sprocket?

ANSI covers eight different strand types of sprockets: single-strand, double-strand, triple-strand, and multiple-strand (4, 5, 6, 8, 10). The right-hand digit of the number designates the type of chain to use with the sprocket, with 0 for standard chain, 1 for lightweight chain, and 5 for rollerless, bushed chain.

How do you calculate sprocket speed?

The easiest way to calculate sprocket ratio is to count the number of teeth on both the driving and the driven sprockets and divide the first by the second. This ratio tells you how many times the driven sprocket turns for every revolution of the driving sprocket.

How do I choose a chain sprocket?

1. Selection Procedure.
