The four principal types of sprockets are designated in Fig. 4.
3.2 Classes of Sprockets
This Standard provides for two classes of sprockets, commercial and precision. Use of commercial or preci5k sprockets is a matter of drive application judgment. The usual moderate-to-slow speed commercial drive is adequately served by commercial sprockets. Where extreme high speed in combination with high load is involved, or where the drive involves fixed centers, critical timing or register problen, or close clearance with outside interference, then the use of precision sprockets may be more appropriate.
As a general guide, drives requiring Type A or Type B lubrication would be served by commercial sprockets. Drives requiring Type C lubrication may require precision sprockets, although even here commercial may be satisfadory Consult the manufacturer. Types of lubrication are shown in the horsepower ratings tables (Tables A4 through A17) provided in Nonmandatory Appendix A.
3.3 Tooth Section Profile
The tooth section profile, Sections A and B of Tables 7A and 7B, shows the recommended chamfering of sprocket teeth for roller chains. All sprocket flanges are to be chamfered to provide guidance of the chain onto the .procket in case of misalignment due to sprocket misalignment or permissible flange weave. Flange chamfer may be as in Section A or B, or anything in between. The sprocket chamfer dimensions R1, g, and h are noncritical and are given only as a guide for general design proportions.
3.4 Sprocket flange Location and Thickness
See Fig. 5 and Tables 8A, $8, SC, SD, 9A, and 98.
3.5 Tooth Form Dimensions
The tooth form shown in Fig. 6 is a theoretical form for the specific number of teeth N and is designed so that the chain, as it wears and elongates, will ride out toward the tips of the teeth. Because of the variety of ways to produce sprocket teeth, the actual teeth may not exactly match the theoretical form. In the case of space cutters or milling cutters, it is common practice to design cutters to cut a form for an intermediate number of teeth for one of five ranges. This results in the cutter, the sprocket, and the theoretical form matching only at 56 teeth. In the case of hobs or shapers, the generated sprocket tooth form comes very close to thetheoretical form for all numbers of teeth, but actuallymatches only where and if the cutting tool design isbased on a specific whole number of teeth.Cast, powdermetal, or plastic molded teeth may or may not matchthe theoretical form, depending on how their pattern,die,or mold was designed and formed. All of theseforms have proved to be acceptable in service.Theimportant thing is that the seating curve diameter, bot-tom diameter, flange width, and chordal pitch be suchas to accept the meshing chain without wedging or bind-ing, so as to minimize chain loading and impact.
