From Table above, we find that for the roller chain, the number of teeth on the smaller
sprocket or pinion (T1) for a velocity ratio of 2 are 27.
So for number of teeth on the larger sprocket should:
T2 = T1 . N1/N2
T2 = 27 . 952 / 600 = 42,8 teeth; let say 43 teeth
Load factor (K1) for variable load with heavy shock = 1,5
Lubrication factor (K2) for periodic lubrication = 1,5
Rating factor (K3) for continuous usage = 1,5
If we plan to use duplex chain, then the design power of each strand will be:
7549 Watt / 2 strand = 3774 Watt/Strand
Let say the velocity of smaller sprocket is 1000 Rpm. According to above table, the type of
chain should be used is 08B which is able to hold 5,09 KWatt per stand and it’s still
permissible to hold the power of 3774 Watt per strand.
The ISO 08B chain type has specification as below table
V1 = 5,71 m/s
W = 391.22 N
The load on chain has reduced from 1020 N to 391 N by changing the chain
into 08B type and change the smaller sprocket to 27 teeth and change the
larger sprocket to 43 teeth
Now we find out the length of chain by considering minimum centre distance
between the smaller and larger sprockets should be 30 to 50 times
the pitch. Let us take it as 30 times the pitch.
So the center distance between the sprocket is:
X = 30 . p
X = 30 . 12,7 mm
X = 381 mm
