chain and sprocket

Go here and you will find a file called Chain and sprkt assy.zip. Open it up and you will find my RC sprkt file, an RC chain file with all sizes in it, and an assy putting them together in one fashion.

Keep in mind that in the real world, you usually fix one shaft with its sprkt, then put a known length chain on it, and then either slide the other shaft to tension the chain, or install a chain idler. So, what I have given you is what you asked for, not the way I usually do it for real. Normally, in SW, I would put the shafts about where I want them, figure a chain length, set the chain assy model to the number of pitches that's close, install it on the sprkts, and let the actual length of the chain drive the free position of the motor, etc. That way you are seeing what it will really look like in the real world.

Thanks for the link. However what I am looking for is were the chain is multiple links and actual drive the sprockets

Doable, but quite processor intensive. I don't have one of those as I avoid that overhead.
