Chain Sprockets
Chain Length is the length of a chain around this component and its parent sprocket.
Chain Number defines the ANSI, ISO or DIN specification number for the sprocket.
Chain Pitch defines the linear dimension of a single chain pitch. This is a read only value unless the Special ASA standard is selected.
Chain Series defines if the sprocket is standard series or heavy series.
Double Pitch Single Duty defines if the component is double pitch, single duty. Select True or False.
Even Full Pitches displays the number of even full pitches of chain for this component and its parent sprocket.
Name defines the name of the part.
Number of Strands defines the number of strands to be created.
Number of Teeth defines the number of teeth for the component.
Path defines the name of the folder where the component files are stored.
Part Color sets the color of the component. If the component is the active component then the color used for display is determined by the Color_Active_Component option in the Options menu. To get an active component to be displayed in its specified color, set the Color_Active_Component option to Transparent.
Pitch Diameter is a read only value that defines the value of the pitch diameter. The pitch diameter of chain sprockets equals the chain pitch divided by the sine of PI divided by the number of teeth.
Pointed Tooth defines if the sprocket should be created with a pointed tooth. Select True or False.
Roller Diameter defines the diameter of the roller. This is a read only value unless the Special ASA standard is selected.
Sprocket Chamfer Depth defines the depth of the chamfer at the tooth tip. This is a read only value unless the Special ASA standard is selected.
Sprocket Outside Diameter displays the outside diameter of the sprocket. This is a read only value.
Sprocket Chamfer Width defines the width of the chamfer at the tooth tip. This is a read only value unless the Special ASA standard is selected.
Sprocket Width defines the width of the sprocket. In the case of a multi-strand sprocket, it defines the width of each plate. This is a read only value unless the Special ASA standard is selected.
Teeth to Pattern defines the number of teeth to pattern when creating the model in CAD. The options are All, None, or First 10. If this is set to All, GearTeq will create a pattern that contains all the teeth. This might be very time consuming if there are a large number of teeth and/or the component is a helical gear. If this is set to none, then a pattern will not be created. Set this to ‘First 10’ to create a pattern with 10 teeth that can easily be expanded in the CAD system.
Units sets the measurement units for the component; select Inches or Metric.
