Sprockets

Dhyan Engineers is a leading manufacturer of all types of Sprockets. Sprockets should be as large as possible given the application. The larger a sprocket is, the less the working load for a given amount of transmitted power, allowing the use of a smaller-pitch chain. However, chain speeds should be kept under 1200 feet per minute. The dimensions of a sprocket can be calculated as follows, where P is the pitch of the chain, and N is the number of teeth on the sprocket: pitch diameter = P ÷ sin (180° ÷ N); outside diameter = P × (0.6 + cot (180° ÷ N); sprocket thickness = 0.93 × roller width – 0.006"; range – chain sprocket, simplex, duplex, triplex; size – ¼” to 6” pitch; and material – mild-steel, EN8, cast steel, SS or CI graded casting.
