This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Verify the chain elongation at a portion which is most

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, substitute the chain.
Utilize the gage to check the wear elongation of one’s chain.
Standard terms for sprockets
Nominal variety of sprockets
The nominal quantity of a sprocket is definitely the exact same because the nominal amount of the corresponding chain. By way of example, Chains this kind of as 50, 50HK, and 50LD might 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 prepared hole and shaft hole finishing
A common sprocket for any single strand or double strand chain features 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 has to be tough and put on resistant because they are impacted when engaged with all the rollers from the chain and worn by sliding using the rollers. When significant put on and huge shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Sorts, building and materials
made of carbon steel or cast steel ought to be used and high-frequency hardening ought to be carried out.
The typical sprockets forty to 120 by using 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 or not the product is induction hardened or not is proven from the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets to your reference. Moreover, in the following cases, induction-harden the teeth in the sprocket.?The small sprocket has 20 or much less teeth and is made use of at 1/6 or much more with the highest speed stated inside the table of highest kilowatt ratings.
The little sprocket is utilised at a change gear ratio of four:one or a lot more.
The compact sprocket is utilized for a minimal speed massive load transmission as in instances of choice determined by the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are used in conditions where the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are utilized below problems the place there are frequent begins and stops or sudden standard or reverse rotations.
Common cautions
For choosing 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” .
