Figure 12.16: Profile tab parameters in the Sprocket property dialog
Parameter | Symbol | Description | Dimension (Range) |
1. Dimension | N/A | This is figure to help understanding what to mean parameter. | N/A |
2. Preview | N/A | This displays a shape of tooth. | N/A |
3. Data | N/A | This displays a shape data of tooth. | N/A |
4. Export | N/A | Use to export a shape data of tooth. | N/A |
5. Profile creation option | N/A | Use to select a type how to create a shape data of tooth. When "Specification" is selected, a shape data is calculated from the pre-defined formulations. When "User-defined" is selected, user must set a shape data directly. | N/A |
6. Profile generation method | N/A | Use to select a type how to calculate a shape data of tooth. When "British Standard" is selected, a shape data of tooth is calculated from the British standard formulation. When "American standard association" is selected, , a shape data of tooth is calculated from the American standard association formulation | N/A |
7. Number of teeth | NT | Use to set the number of teeth |
N/A (Integer≥1) |
8. Dedendum circle diameter | DCD | Use to set the diameter of dedendum circle. |
Length (Real>0.0) |
9. Sprocket width | SPW | Use to set the Sprocket width. |
Length (Real>0.0) |
10. Boolean type | N/A | Use to select a type how to create shaft. When "Unite" is selected, the shaft is united on Sprocket. When "Subtract" is selected, the shaft subtracted from Sprocket | N/A |
11. Diameter | SD | Use to set the shaft diameter. |
Length (Real>0.0) |
12. Width | SW | Use to set the shaft width. |
Length (Real>0.0) |
13. Addendum circle diameter | ACD | Use to set the diameter of addendum circle. |
Length (Real>0.0) |
14. Pitch circle diameter | PCD | Use to set the diameter of pitch circle. The half of diameter of pitch circle is used assemble radius of path |
Length (Real>0.0) |
15. Bushing radius | BR | Use to set the bushing radius. Bushing is component that constructs track link |
Length (Real>0.0) |
16. Clearance of tooth root | CTR | Use to set the clearance of tooth root. |
Length (Real>0.0) |
17. Tooth rounding radius | TRR | Use to set the tooth rounding radius |
Length (Real>0.0) |
18. Angle between teeth | ABT | Use to set the angle between teeth. The dimension of angle is degree. |
Angle (Real≥0.0) |
