Needed Facts For Drive Chain Selection

? Type of input power (electrical motor, inner combustion engine with mechanical or hydraulic drive).
? Type of tools to be driven.
? Amount of horsepower expected to provide suffi cient electrical power to the driven shaft.
? Full load speed of the fastest operating shaft (rpm).
? Desired velocity of the slow running shaft ( or the expected pace ratio). NOTE: If speeds are variable figure out the horsepower to be transmitted at just about every velocity.
? Diameters in the drive and driven shafts . . . This worth might restrict the minimal amount of teeth for that sprockets.
? Center distance with the shafts.
? Note the place and any area limitations that could exist. Ordinarily these limitations are around the highest diameter of sprockets (this restricts using single strand chains) or the width with the chain (this restricts using multi-strand chains).
? Conditions with the drive such as a determination with the class of load (uniform, moderate or heavy), significant working temperatures or chemically aggressive environments should be mentioned.
Abbreviations Utilized in Equations
N Number of teeth around the significant sprocket.
n Amount of teeth about the modest sprocket.
R Speed in revolutions per minute (rpm) in the massive sprocket.
r Speed in revolutions per minute (rpm) in the small sprocket.
C Shaft center distance in chain pitches.
HP Horsepower rating on the drive motor or engine.
KW Kilowatt electrical power rating of drive motor or engine if using metric units.
