Power transmitting silent chain apparatus

Abstract

A power transmitting silent chain apparatus comprises a silent chain and a sprocket. The silent chain is comprised of a plurality of link plates interconnected by connector pins. Each link plate has a pair of teeth. The sprocket has a plurality of involute teeth for meshing with the link plate teeth. The link plate teeth have inner and outer flanks profiled to satisfy the expression Hi=Ho+Hs, where Hi is a distance from a pitch line of the chain to a pitch line of the inner flanks, Ho is a distance from the chain pitch line to a pitch line of the outer flanks, and Hs is an amplitude of a polygonal motion of the chain.
