Sprocket Teeth engagement
Sprocket Teeth engagement
(OP)
Hello all,
Does anyone know if there is a formula for calculating chain wrap on a sprocket based off of speed/force? I am certain there is, but I have looked and couldn't find a sure shot answer. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
Josh

The document that he provided is very helpful. Its saying a MIN of 120°. That was what I was looking for. Sounds like there isn't a correlation between wrap required and force or speed. I was wondering if there was.
Example - If I had a conveyor and I was pulling a light load, I was thinking it might only need a few teeth engaged.
