Abstract
The aim of this paper is to define and to analyse the theoretical contact forces that appear in a sprocket—silent chain joint. The contact force between the links and the teeth flanks of the sprocket can be considered as a reaction to the axial force (tensioning force) transmitted throughout the pins. The centrifugal force is considered to be constant and the friction between the elements is not considered. This paper is presenting an analysis of forces in the joints of links and between links and sprocket in order to establish a distribution along links and the influence of number of teeth of sprockets and centrifugal force on number of links transmitting the load.
