Figure 1 Silent Chain Link property page [Characteristics page]
The Silent Chain Link property page is shown in Figure 1. The parameters are explained below. In order to understand the geometry, refer to Dimension Information.
•Pitch (P): Enters the pitch.
•Total Width of Outer Link (Wl): Enters the width between outer link plates.
•Plate Thickness (Tp): Enters the thickness of link plate.
•Pin Radius (Rp): Enters the pin radius of link.
•Pin Length (Lp): Enters the pin length of link.
•Apply single Inner Link: it is possible to create the following geometry.
•Use User-defined Bushing Position: If it is checked, Bushing force can be defined on different position with pin position.
•Left Bushing Position: Defines a base marker position of Bushing force.
•Right Bushing Position: Defines an action marker position of Bushing force.
•Bushing Width: Defines a width between two bushing forces.
