I would like to know how a sprocket teeth profile is designed. I need to design a 8 - teeth sprocket amd a 63 teeth sprocket. Can any body help me how to create the profile of a sprocket teeth.my email is moiz_pk2001@yahoo.com
Does anybody have anything to say about the ill-advised suggestion to merge this article with Gear? MarkMLl 11:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
I also see an old merge proposal with gear, in the comment above. The three ( gear, pinion and sprocket) make reference to intimately related devices. As we know, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and should not have an entry for each slightly different device in existence, be it named with the same or a different word. The aim of a, say, "gear" article in WP should be to inform the readers, who might be actually looking for what a pinion is, or what a sprocket is, without knowing the difference. Having three different articles is really of no help for the reader wanting to learn about the issue. I propose at least to merge pinion into sprocket, and maybe all three into gear. — isilanes ( talk| contribs) 08:41, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Per WP:EL "Wikipedia articles may include links to web pages outside Wikipedia, but must conform to certain formatting restrictions. Such pages could contain further research that is accurate and on-topic; information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail; or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy."
While I'm sure this is a very nice website, I can not find anything on
that meets the criteria list above. - AndrewDressel ( talk) 15:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Do timing belts, and other ribbed belts run on sprockets, notched pulleys, or something else by another name? What distinguishes a pully from a sprocket? The teeth, the flanges, or what runs on them, a belt or a chain? Does anyone have a definitive reference, or is this just a murky area?
User:AndrewDressel does not like these images of sprockets, which I thought were very nice.
Instead, he likes the animation of the grey chain going over the yellow sprocket, which I find oddly disturbing.
His objection to the antique image of a sprocket drive system seems to contradict the use of an old film projector schematic. Also the use of the drive wheel of the LeClerc tank, which is hard to understand without the rest of the vehicle, would seem to justify the a view of the entire tank as presented in the Abrams image.
I seem to run into this on a regular basis, what I feel helps illustrate the fundamental principles of machines, upsets someone else's reading of the Wikipedia manual of style. Prof McCarthy ( talk) 01:08, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Also, what's the reason for forcing the image sizes to 200, 300, 400 px, and even 600px!? If a user has a display that works large images they can set their default thumb size accordingly. If not, they're trying to tell you images that size don't look good for them. Forced images ignore the user's context. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 04:46, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
These are the pictures that are available. If you can find better ones then, I would like to see them. The bevel gear differential in the sprocket is actually quite interesting, at least to me. Similarly, the size and location of the drive sprocket of the Abrams tank is impressive. One would think there were many pictures of chain drives with sprockets, but I think I looked through almost every picture in Wikipedia Commons. Prof McCarthy ( talk) 06:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
What is the difference between a cog and a sprocket? I have never heard of a sprocket but it seems to be the same as what I refer to as a cog. I think the relationship should be mentioned in the article. The gears article doesn't mention this either. Furthermore, I had difficulty finding a conclusive answer online. I am not an expert on the topic but I am giving an opinion as the average man. This yahoo answers page did help though.
I tried to attract attention to the author by editing the page and mentioning the circular reference. I understand that my edit was removed right away, but I don't know how to properly get somebody knowledgeable to fix the issue. A sprocket is ... or even sprockets... I spent some time to find the definition of "sprockets" (the plural with a 's') on wikipedia and on the web but failed. Mgh2009 ( talk) 19:16, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
