Problem 8:

Design a roller chain to transmit power from a 20 kW motor to a reciprocating pump. The pump is to
operate continuously 24 hours per day. The speed of the motor is 600 rpm and that of the pump is 200
rpm. Find: a. number of teeth on each sprocket; b. pitch and width of the chain.

Given: P=20 KW

N m =600 rpm

N p=200rpm

Solution:

 Velocity Ratio
N m 600 rpm
V r= = =3
N p 200 rpm
 For V r =3, the number of teeth on smaller sprocket:
T 1=25
 Larger Sprocket

Problem 9:

Design a chain drive to run a blower at 600 rpm. The power to the blower is available from a 8 kW motor
at 1500 rpm. The center distance is to be kept at 800 mm.

Given: Pr =8 KW N 2=600 rpm

N 1=1500 rpm x=800 mm

Solution:

Problem 10:

A chain drive using bush roller chain transmits 5.6 kW of power. The driving shaft on an electric motor
runs at 1440 rpm and velocity ratio is 5. The center distance of the drive is restricted to 550 ± 2% mm
and allowable pressure on the pivot joint is not to exceed 10 N/mm2. The drive is required to operate
continuously with periodic lubrication and driven machine is such that load can be regarded as constant
with jerk and impact. Design the chain drive by calculating leading dimensions, number of teeth on the
sprocket and specify the breaking strength of the chain. Assume a factor of safety of 13.
