Abstract

The sprocket is a very essential part in the transmission of power and motion in most motorcycles. Generally sprockets are made of mild steel. In this paper, existing sprocket motorcycle is compared with the sprocket of carbon fiber material. The drawing and drafting is done using CAD software. Further FEA software is used for analysis of sprocket chain. With different properties of mild steel and carbon fiber, stress and deformation of sprocket is compared. This work will be useful for further development of sprockets chain.
