The wheels over which chain runs are called sprocket wheels. These wheels have projecting teeth which fit the suitable recess in the links of the chain and thus enable a positive drive to be obtained. | ||
The pitch of the chain is defined as the distance between a hinge center of one link to the corresponding hinge center of the adjacent link. The pitch circle diameter of the chain sprocket is the diameter of the circle on which the hinge centers lie, when the chain is wrapped round the sprocket. |
