This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check out the chain elongation at a portion that’s most

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check out the chain elongation at a portion which can be most
frequently engaged with all the sprockets (portion most likely to get worn).
Once the center on the pin of your chain to get measured reaches the arrow stage, it signifies that the chain has been critically elongated. In this instance, substitute the chain.
Make use of the gage to verify the dress in elongation of your chain.
Common terms for sprockets
Nominal variety of sprockets
The nominal quantity of a sprocket would be the exact same because the nominal amount of the corresponding chain. One example is, Chains this kind of as 50, 50HK, and 50LD might be engaged which has a sprocket 50. It is actually followed by symbols and characters indicating the number of chain strands, the quantity of sprocket teeth, hub kind, tooth head hardening, etc.
Diameter of prepared hole and shaft hole finishing
A normal sprocket to get a single strand or double strand chain includes 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 the sprocket must be difficult and dress in resistant as they are impacted when engaged with all the rollers in the chain and worn by sliding with the rollers. When significant dress in and significant shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Styles, construction and elements
made from carbon steel or cast steel really should be employed and high-frequency hardening need to be performed.
The conventional sprockets forty to 120 with a hub on just one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened even when the amount of teeth is tiny. Whether or not the product or service is induction hardened or not is proven within the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets to your reference. On top of that, within the following instances, induction-harden the teeth with the sprocket.?The small sprocket has twenty or much less teeth and is employed at 1/6 or a lot more of your highest velocity stated from the table of greatest kilowatt ratings.
The little sprocket is applied at a change gear ratio of four:1 or much more.
The modest sprocket is used to get a reduced speed massive load transmission as in scenarios of selection determined by the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are used in situations wherever the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are applied below situations where you’ll find regular commences and stops or sudden standard or reverse rotations.
General cautions
For choosing the number of teeth and speed ration in the sprocket, see “How to pick good chain” . For cautions for installing a sprocket on the shaft and substitute timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
