This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Examine the chain elongation at a portion that’s most
frequently engaged using the sprockets (portion almost certainly for being worn).

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check out the chain elongation at a portion that is most
regularly engaged together with the sprockets (portion more than likely to get worn).
When the center from the pin from the chain to become measured reaches the arrow stage, it means that the chain has been critically elongated. In this case, substitute the chain.
Use the gage to check the put on elongation of your chain.
Common terms for sprockets
Nominal number of sprockets
The nominal variety of a sprocket will be the similar since the nominal quantity of the corresponding chain. For instance, Chains this kind of as 50, 50HK, and 50LD could be engaged having a sprocket 50. It truly is followed by symbols and characters indicating the quantity of chain strands, the amount of sprocket teeth, hub sort, tooth head hardening, etc.
Diameter of prepared hole and shaft hole finishing
A common sprocket for any single strand or double strand chain has a shaft hole ready at a diameter stated during the table of dimensions. If you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference to the outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of a sprocket have to be difficult and wear resistant as they are impacted when engaged with all the rollers on the chain and worn by sliding together with the rollers. When extreme dress in and significant shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Styles, construction and components
made from carbon steel or cast steel should really be made use of and high-frequency hardening should be performed.
The standard sprockets forty to 120 with a hub on just one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened whether or not the number of teeth is little. Whether the product or service is induction hardened or not is proven while in the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for the reference. Additionally, inside the following instances, induction-harden the teeth in the sprocket.?The compact sprocket has twenty or less teeth and it is utilised at 1/6 or far more in the greatest pace stated in the table of greatest kilowatt ratings.
The smaller sprocket is utilised at a transform gear ratio of four:one or additional.
The small sprocket is applied for any minimal speed substantial load transmission as in cases of choice determined by the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are used in situations exactly where the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are employed underneath ailments the place you can find regular commences and stops or sudden normal or reverse rotations.
Basic cautions
For selecting the number of teeth and speed ration in the sprocket, see “How to select right chain” . For cautions for installing a sprocket on a shaft and replacement timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
