ZM2 calculates dimensions of sprocket and pin rack according to ISO 606. Sprocket is calculated by means of maximum chain force to ISO 606. Roller chain equivalent profiles can be selected from the data base provided.

ZM2 searches the data base and suggests an appropriate profile based on power, torque and drive speed.

The tooth profile can be selected from database. ZM2 calculates the dimensions for sprocket and pin rack.

ZM2 calculates the breakage safety margin according to ISO 606 for roller chains. ZM2 also calculates shear stress of the pin rack bolts and Hertzian pressure between pin and sprocket.

The data base supplied with the program contains the dimensions for all sizes in accordance with ISO 606. Furthermore, profiles according to the withdrawn standards DIN 8187 and DIN 8188 can be selected and calculated by means of a second database.

The calculation results and input data can be printed out on any Windows printer. Alternatively, ZM2 can generate an HTML or TXT file for editing with an Internet Browser or spreadsheet program.

Drawings of the sprockets can be displayed on screen, printed out or exported as scale drawings to CAD via DXF or IGES interfaces.

ZM2 generates production drawings of the sprockets. The drawing includes a header to ISO 7200 and an modification index.

ZM2 simulates moving pin rack and rotating sprocket on screen.

Auxiliary texts and pictures can be modified by the user. If error messages are shown, you can have a description and remedy suggestion displayed.
