This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Verify the chain elongation at a portion which is most
usually engaged together with the sprockets (portion more than likely to get worn).

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Verify the chain elongation at a portion which can be most
regularly engaged together with the sprockets (portion more than likely to get worn).
Once the center from the pin on the chain to become measured reaches the arrow point, it signifies that the chain has become critically elongated. In this case, exchange the chain.
Utilize the gage to check the wear elongation of the chain.
Standard terms for sprockets
Nominal quantity of sprockets
The nominal quantity of a sprocket is definitely the same because the nominal amount of the corresponding chain. For instance, Chains this kind of as 50, 50HK, and 50LD could be engaged that has a sprocket 50. It’s followed by symbols and characters indicating the quantity of chain strands, the quantity of sprocket teeth, hub form, tooth head hardening, etc.
Diameter of ready hole and shaft hole finishing
A regular sprocket for any single strand or double strand chain has a shaft hole prepared at a diameter stated within the table of dimensions. Once you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference on the outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of a sprocket should be tough and put on resistant because they are impacted when engaged together with the rollers in the chain and worn by sliding using the rollers. When severe wear and huge shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Sorts, building and materials
manufactured from carbon steel or cast steel should really be made use of and high-frequency hardening should be carried out.
The conventional sprockets 40 to 120 using a hub on just one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened whether or not the number of teeth is compact. Whether the products is induction hardened or not is shown during the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for the reference. In addition, in the following scenarios, induction-harden the teeth from the sprocket.?The small sprocket has twenty or less teeth and is used at 1/6 or more with the greatest speed stated inside the table of highest kilowatt ratings.
The little sprocket is utilised at a alter gear ratio of four:1 or much more.
The small sprocket is used for any reduced speed massive load transmission as in instances of variety determined by the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are utilized in conditions where the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are used beneath problems the place you will find regular begins and stops or sudden common or reverse rotations.
Common cautions
For picking the quantity of teeth and velocity ration with the sprocket, see “How to select correct chain” . For cautions for installing a sprocket on a shaft and replacement timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
