Chain Sprocket Calculator
Calculate exact mechanical chain lengths, center distances, and sprocket pitch ratios.
Targets
- Conveyor and roller-table drive layouts
- Motorcycle and bicycle final drives
- Whole-pitch link counts and take-up travel
Engineering Kit builds focused calculators for chain drives, planar linkages, epicyclic gear trains, belt drives and pumping systems, in metric or imperial units.

No account, no sign-in, no data connection. The apps keep working in plant rooms, basements, workshops and field locations where there is no signal.
Swipe the deck to compare the tools. Each card lists the engineering cases it targets.
Calculate exact mechanical chain lengths, center distances, and sprocket pitch ratios.
Synthesize, analyze, and animate 4-bar planar mechanical linkages.
Analyze epicyclic gear ratios, sun/planet/ring gear teeth counts, and rotational speeds.
Calculate belt lengths, speed ratios, pitch diameters, and RPM settings.
Total dynamic head, pipe friction loss, fitting losses and the pump duty you need to specify.
Solve remaining sides and angles, then read perimeter, area and all three heights.
Drive the inputs and watch the geometry redraw in real time. These previews deliberately stop short of the numbers: chain lengths, centre distances, gear ratios and belt lengths all stay in the Android apps.
Adjust pitch, tooth counts and centre distance to reshape the chain wrap.
Change the four link lengths and watch the mechanism cycle and trace its coupler curve.
Enter sun and ring tooth counts to rebuild and animate the epicyclic train.
Size the driver and driven pulleys and watch the belt span redraw.
Engineering Kit apps are deliberately narrow. Each one solves a single sizing problem completely, with the assumptions written down next to the result.
Switch unit systems per field. ANSI and ISO chain pitches, module and diametral pitch, L/s and GPM.
The drive calculators redraw as you type, so an impossible selection shows up before you order the parts.
