(Chain sprocket specification)

Chain
Single stranded (chain no. 50)

Chain no.

Pitch

50

Roller diameter

0.625 in.

Rollar width

0.40 in.

Sprocket (thickness)

3/8 in.

0.343 in.
Max. pitch = (900/ rpm)2/3

Pitch = 0.625*25.4 = 15.875 mm.

Chain length
L=Ln x p
Ln = 2( )+ (

= 3464.74 mm

L = 346 cm
Sprocket
Pitch dia. D1 (Driver)
D 1=
We have taken 48 teeths on driver and velocity ratio is 3:1.
Or

(Z 1=3Z2)

48/16 = 3

D1 =

= 242.725 mm

D2 =

= 81.372 mm

V=
= 3.14 x 242.725 x 80 / 60
V= 1.0162 m/sec.

when ( 80< N < 120 )

Load
1400 lbs

If 120 = N
Then v will be, v= 1.524 m/sec.
So by these specifications velocity of chain will lie between 1.062 to 1.524 m/sec.
-----------------------------------------------

Driver sprocket
Pitch dia. = 242.72 mm.
Outside dia. = 251.65 mm
Sprocket thickness = 0.93 x roller width 0.006 = 8.852 mm

Driven sprocket
Pitch dia. = 81.372 mm
Outside dia. = 15.875 ( 0.6 + cot (180/N)) = 89.33 mm
Sprocket thickness = 0.93 x roller width 0.006 = 8.852 mm
