teeth sprocket design 2

[tabby1]

Hi all,
I want to design with Solidworks (CAD) a sprocket with teeth. Is anybody can suggest me a web site to find the specifications of this type of design.
Thank you

All the info needed is in Machinery's Handbook.

I've got some sprockets designed (SW06) for #25 & #41 chain of various tooth numbers.

It's not difficult to do, but takes a bit of time.

I have some tables made up in Excel to make calculating values easier, however these are not used as a Design Table in SW.

Do you mean "specifications of such a design" in the sense of:

"the geometry and mathematics of sprocket design"

Or in the sense of:

"the techniques used to model sprockets in SolidWorks" ?

Thank you all for your response.

I've started this part that will calculate the teeth based on what's in the Machinery's Handbook (Ref. ASME/ANSI B29.1M-1986).

You still have to put in the hub dimensions, and OD, etc. You can find those dimensions at any manufacturer's site. (Browning, Martin, etc.) The tooth profile is covered though.
