Calculation Selection of Number of Teeth On Sprocket
PITCH Standard pitch, p= 15.875 mm SELECTION OF CHAIN Chain type: Duplex chain DR50 CALCULATION OF SERVICE FACTOR ks= k1.k2.k3.k4.k5.k6 k1= 1.25 (Load with mild shocks) k2= 1.25 (Fixed centre distance) k3= 0.8 k4= 1 (horizontal drive) k5= 0.8 k6= 1.25 ks= 1.25 x 1.25 x 0.8 x 1 x 0.8 x 1.25 ks= 1.25 DETERMINATION OF LOAD Load, PT= 450 kg PT= 4414.5 N
Design Load= Load x service factor Design Load= 4414.5 x 1.25 Design Load= 5518.12 N CALCULATION OF WORKING FACTOR OF SAFETY Factory of safety= Breaking Load/ Design Load Breaking Load= 4440 kgf= 44400N Factor of safety= 44400/5518.12 Factor of safety = 8.04 CHECK FACTOR OF SAFETY Minimum value of factor of safety= 7 Working factor of safety= 8.04 Working Factor of safety> Minimum Factor of safety Hence design is safe. CHECK BEARING STRESS Velocity, v= z1pN/6 v= 30 x 15.875 x 50/60 v= 396.87 mm/s v= 0.39 m/s Bearing Area= 140mm2 Weight per metre= 1.78kgf Power transmitted basis of breaking load, N= Q x v/(102.n.ks) Where, Q- Breaking Load= 4440 kgf
Power, Q= 4440 x 0.39 / (102 x 7 x 1.25) Power, Q= 1.94 kW Bearing stress, N= .A.V/102ks =102.ks.N/A.V = 102 x 1.25 x 1.94/ 140 x 0.39 = 29.6 N/mm2 Allowable bearing stress = 35 N/mm2 Allowable bearing stress > Induced Stress CALCULATION OF LENGTH OF CHAIN Number of links, lp=2ap + (z1+z2)/2 + [(z2 z1/2 )2 / ap]
