Strength Design for Star Sprocket Based on ANSYS

A star sprocket is an important component of U-shaped slide chain conveyor, so it is particularly important to be analyzed. It conducts modal analysis of star sprocket by using large finite element analysis software, ANSYS, calculates natural frequencies of the first five and the corresponding modes and analyzes natural frequency affected by sprocket tooth thickness. The result provides basic theory for dynamic optimization analysis of U-shaped slide chain conveyor.
