Has anyone ever measured involute sprockets with the Gear software package. THe issue I am having is that the pitch diameter of the involute sprocket is larger than the major diameter. Therefore, the tooth thickness at pitch diameter is a negative number. The software does not seem to be set-up to handle this situation. Any help would be appreciated.
Recalculating a new pitch diameter, pressure angle, and tooth thickness (using the original involute data) does work with the gear software. You have to calculate the tolerance for the new tooth thickness from the original data. If anyone is interested, I will be happy to share the formulas required to calculate the new parameters.
