Figure 1 Sprocket property page [Geometry Data page]
The Sprocket property page is shown in Figure 1. The parameters are explained below.
•Sprocket Type: General type, ISO 606 Library type and Parameters type are supported in RecurDyn/Chain. For more information, click here.
•Teeth Width(Wt): Enters the teeth width of sprocket.
•Wheel Radius(Rw): Enters the wheel radius of sprocket.
•Wheels Width(Ww): Enters the wheel width of sprocket.
•Number of Teeth: Enters the number of teeth.
•Link Assembly Information: The gap between link pins and sprocket teeth can be controlled by Assembled Radius or Radial Distance.

•Full Search: All links are searched for contact.
•Partial Search: Some links are searched for contact in some boundary. It is used to reduce total solving time.
•User Boundary: In the case of Partial Search, the search boundary can be modified.
