As a result of purchasing a 3/8 inch sprocket from Company A and a 3/8 inch chain from Company B I was told by an engineer that these two are completely impossible to assemble.
The cause was that the pins of the chain were too short and the width was not even 5.7 degrees.
In the end, had to purchase an assemblable product from the market, wasting 3 days

All dimensions meet GB standards The meshing tolerance is 0
The meshing tolerance is a small value of 0~0.024, so the meshing condition is not good. The chain frequently comes off the sprocket.
