This is how to make the chain and sprockets move in a circular motion

I want to know how to make the chain rotate along the sprocket.

Here’s an example of animating a chain and gears with dummy geometry.

The idea is that each curving section of the chain is one link, and each straight section is one link. There’s no physics involved as this is a lightweight way to animate the movement.

@KustiH @captain_feature I would like to apply this motion concept to a stacker conveyor system.
