Stress Analysis of a Roller Chain Sprocket Assembly

Application ID: 78171


Chain drives are used to transmit power between shafts separated by a distance. This example demonstrates the 3D modeling of a roller chain sprocket assembly consisting of a roller chain wrapped around two elastic sprockets. The motion of one sprocket is transmitted through the chain to the second sprocket, which is subjected to an opposing external torque. All components of the assembly are modeled as elastic.

The assembly geometry is created using built-in geometry parts, and the Chain Drive feature in the Multibody Dynamics interface is used to set up the model. A transient analysis is performed to investigate the load path, contact forces, and stress distribution in the components of the assembly.
