An inverted tooth chain assembly including outer links, middle links, inner links, and a chain pin having a diameter is provided. The inverted tooth chain assembly includes first and second packs of inner links. Each of the packs includes a predetermined number (N) of links. The inner links have a thickness (t), an outer surface depth (s1) defined between an outer diameter of one of the third chain pin openings and an outer surface of the inner link, an outer flank depth (s2) defined between the outer diameter of one of the third chain pin openings and an outer flank surface, and an inner flank depth (s3) defined between the outer diameter of one of the third chain pin openings and an inner flank surface. The outer surface depth, outer flank depth, inner flank depth, thickness, and number of inner links are selected to satisfy certain relationships. |
