AI Thread Summary
Choosing sprockets for a mechanical system requires understanding the shaft diameter and power requirements. Vendors of power transmission components typically provide sizing tables and technical information on their websites. It is advisable to consult these resources or directly contact a vendor for specific recommendations based on your system's specifications. Belt drives are recommended over sprocket chains due to their greater forgiveness and cost-effectiveness. Proper selection is crucial for optimal performance and efficiency in mechanical systems.

How I can choose a chain's sprockets for my Mechanical System ... Please need Sprocket's Tables Depending On Shafts Daimeters Or The Power .

For Example If I have 35 mm shaft

Need any tables for that ...

Pretty much any vendor of power transmission components will have the required information for sizing their brand of equipment. I would suggest looking at a few web sites and look for a technical information section. That's usually where the engineering info section is. Worst case, select a vendor and tell them what you have. They will most likely tell you right away what you would need and a price.
 
I would heavily vote against a sprocket chain, belt drives are more forgiving and less expensive.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
