Example with solutions
Example 4.1 Determine the dimensions of the sprocket with tooth number z = 15
and pitch pc = 12.7 mm.
Solution
1) The pitch diameter of the sprocket passes through the roller center:
pc 12,7
d 61,08 mm
sin ( / z) sin ( / 15)
2) Outer diameter of the sprocket:
da = pc (0,5 + cot(/z))
da = 12,7(0,5+cot(/15))= 66,1 mm
Example 4.2 Design calculation of the roller chain drive from the reducer to the
conveyor drum (H.1.12) according to the following data: transmission power P1 =
8.7 kW, number of revolutions of the driving sprocket n 1 = 400 rpm, driven sprocket
revolutions n2 = 200 rpm, light impact load, drip lubrication, 1 shift working,
adjustable sprocket shaft, line connecting the center of the inclined shaft to the
horizontal 20° angle, preliminary selected center distance a = 40 pc.
Solution:
1) Choose the type of chain: roller chain.
2) Preliminary selection of the number of teeth of the driving sprocket according to
the formula: z1 = 29 – 2u
n1 400
where: u 2
n2 200
From here infer: z1 = 25 teeth.
Number of teeth for driven sprocket z2 = z1u = 25.2 = 50 teeth.

where:
- [P] is the allowable power of a chain 1 row and chain pitch pc, according to the
table 5.4 [10] when n = 600 rpm và pc = 25,4 mm we hace [P] = 25,7 kW.
- Kz = 25/z1 = 1 - factor taking into account the influence of the number of chain
strands
- Kn = n01/n1 = 1 - the coefficient of rotational speed, the value of n01 is given in
table (5.4).
- Kx = 1 because the chain has 1 strand (row).
- K – Calculated factor, is determined according to the following formula:
K = KrKaKoKdcKbKlv = 1,2.1.1.1.1,5.1 = 1,8
wherei: Kr = 1,2 - load with light impact;
Ka = 1 - factor taking into account the influence of center distance;
Ko = 1 - horizontal transmission;
Kdc = 1 - adjustment center distance;
Kb = 1,5 - Periodic lubrication;
Klv = 1 - work one shift.
