- DataPitch: Distance between two teeth
- DataRoller Diameter: Diameter of the chain rollers the sprocket is designed for
- DataThickness:The principal thickness of the sprocket. Note: The sprocket cannot just be padded with this thickness because the teeth have side chamfers. Therefore look at the sprocket definition to model a valid 3D sprocket. introduced in 0.20
