Stresses induced in chain drive
Advantages and Disadvantages.
Advantages:-
1. Chain drive can be used over wide range of
distances.
2. Chain drive does not slip, hence it gives
positive drive.
3. Efficiency of chain drives is high from 96% to
98%
4. Chain drives are easy to replace.
Advantages and Disadvantages.
Disadvantages:-
1. Chain drive are not suitable for non parallel
shaft.
2. Chain drive operates without full lubricant
film between joints unlike gear therefore it
results in more wear at joints.
3. Chain drive requires housing
4. Chain drive requires precise alignment of
shaft.
Application‟s of chain drive.
1. Bicycle
2. Automobiles
3. Suspending, raising, lowering loads in material
handling equipment's. (Load lifting chain)
4. Carrying material by sliding, pulling or
carrying in conveyors (Hauling chain)
5. Building construction
6. Agriculture machinery
General recommendations for the design of
chain drive.
1. For lowering the noise minimum no. of teeth
on sprocket should be 21.
2. Centre distance between the axes of driving
and driven shafts should be 30 to 50 times of
pitch of the chain.
3. Idler sprocket should be used to reduce the
slack in chain.
4. Multi-strand chains are recommended when
high power is to be transmitted.
5. The chain should be properly lubricated.
Selection of chain drive for automobile
For e.g. :-
A chain drive is used in a special purpose
vehicle. The vehicle is run by a 30 kw rotary
engine. The efficiency of drive should be 90%.
The driving sprocket rotates at 300 rpm. The
driven sprocket rotates at 100 rpm. And a very
high torque is to be transmitted.
Now,
first find power to be transmitted from chain.
Selection of chain drive for automobile
Now,
first find power to be transmitted of chain.
Power transmitted = power * efficiency
= 30(0.9)
= 27 Kw
Now,
For moderate shock condition the service factor
is given from table of service factor (Ks)
Therefore, Ks = 1.4
Selection of chain drive for automobile.
Now,
Selection of no. of strands .
As no. of strands depends upon torque to be
transmitted.
In our case as high torque is to be transmitted
therefore no. of strands (K1) is selected as 3
from table.
Now,
Tooth correction factor (K2) is selected from
the table depending on the basis of no. of teeth
on sprockets.
