Equations For The Design of Standard Sprocket Teeth

This document contains a spreadsheet that can be used to generate calculations needed to approximate the profile of a standard sprocket tooth. It includes inputs for chain pitch, number of teeth, roller diameter, and then calculates various dimensions labeled as PD, Ds, R, A, B, ac, M, T, E, xy, yz, ab, W, V, F, H, S that relate to the tooth profile. It notes that very low values for certain inputs, like a number of teeth less than 8 for a 25P sprocket, may yield incorrect results.

Note: Depending on pitch, very low values will yield erroneous results
(example any value less than 8 for a 25P sprocket yields erroneous results.
