Anyone know anything about sprockets?
(1/3) > >>
JoyMonkey:
I'm working on a 4/8way switch that will integrate well with the CP I'm planning, but I'm no engineer and haven't got a clue what kind of sprockets I'll need. I was going to CNC the sprockets today, then I realised that I have no idea what I'm doing  :-\

So here's a quick idea of what I need to know. The small green sprocket needs to turn the large red sprocket. The diameters need to be in or around 1" and 3.125".

Anyone know how it'd be done? I'd rather not use a belt as I think it'd make things much more complicated than needs be.

And here's a full size PDF drawing...

Does anyone know;
how many teeth should each have?
and what depth should the teeth be?

This is the time on Sprockets when we dance!

See page 946 of McMasters catalog for some information.  You may even find the gear you need straight from them.

Its funny, I tried looking through McMaster online before I posted but couldn't find anything. I have a catalog sitting on my desk, maybe I should take some time to go over it...

What I really need is a drawing of two sinterlocking prockets similar is size to what I need, so I can make myself.
