Sprocket Designer

Define the tooth geometry and pitch; the approximate outer diameter only selects the nearest practical tooth count. The plan view shows the tooth profile; the 3D view shows the sprocket extruded to its axial depth, including the center hole and mounting boss.

Parameters (mm)

Linear distance from one tooth center to the next.
Total radial distance from tooth root to tooth tip.
Sets the straight tooth flank angle and calculates the base width. Select Custom to enter the base width manually.
Used to choose the nearest whole tooth count after preserving pitch.
Axial thickness of the sprocket, shown in the 3D view.
Diameter of the center through-hole.
Outer diameter of the center mounting boss.
How far the boss projects beyond the sprocket depth.
Straight (unchecked) or rounded (checked) tip and base corners.

Calculation: tooth count = whole tooth count whose pitch / sin(pi / tooth count) is nearest to the approximate OD. Tooth depth is cut inward from the outer diameter so the distance between consecutive tooth center lines stays equal to the pitch. A selected pressure angle calculates base width from tip width + 2 × tooth depth × tan(pressure angle); Custom uses the entered base width. The 3D view extrudes the profile by the sprocket depth. The boss projects the extra depth beyond the sprocket depth for a mounting screw to a sensor axis.
