How can I design a timing belt pulley with correctly shaped teeth?
I'm trying to design a pulley for an 8mm pitch HTD belt, but can't find any information on how to construct the tooth shape of the pulley. I've found some information such as the tooth height, but nothing about the with of the teeth. How can I construct the geometry for the pulley teeth in CAD, and what dimensions do I need?
P.S. The type of belt I plan on using can be found here, if it helps: https://www.mcmaster.com/7904K191

You probably want design sprockets and a chain. Solid works doesn't have sprockets of normal sizes in their part library
I'm assuming this is something you can't purchase off the shelf?
Or is this just an academic exercise?
I should mention you likely want to buy a sprocket from servocity. They have the cad files for all their parts.
