Sprocket and Chain Compatibility
Most drives have an even number of pitches in the chain and by using a driver sprocket with an odd number of teeth, uniform wear distribution over both chain and sprocket teeth is ensured. Even numbers of teeth for both the driver and the driven sprockets can be used, but wear distribution on both the sprocket teeth and chain is poor.
