Calculating spacing for chain drive sprockets

1moretoy

Since I was having so much trouble trying to figure out why my chain driven setup was popping even after making a chain tensioner, I did a little research and will now step back and punt so to speak. I will try to totally redo the layout this weekend based on what I found I had done wrong.

This is what I found in case you are attempting to use a chain drive too:

Center to Center sprocket measurments should be:
-no less than 1.5 times the diameter of the larger sprocket
-no less than 30 times the chain pitch
-no more than 60 time the chain pitch

here is the link to the site with the sprocket diameters listed

Hope this helps you calculate your dimensions before you get started.
