This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Test the chain elongation at a portion that’s most
often engaged with all the sprockets (portion most likely to get worn).

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check the chain elongation at a portion and that is most
frequently engaged with all the sprockets (portion probably to get worn).
When the center on the pin of the chain to be measured reaches the arrow point, it means that the chain is critically elongated. In this instance, exchange the chain.
Utilize the gage to test the put on elongation of one’s chain.
Basic terms for sprockets
Nominal quantity of sprockets
The nominal variety of a sprocket may be the very same since the nominal amount of the corresponding chain. One example is, Chains such as 50, 50HK, and 50LD might be engaged using a sprocket 50. It is followed by symbols and characters indicating the quantity of chain strands, the quantity of sprocket teeth, hub kind, tooth head hardening, and so forth.
Diameter of ready hole and shaft hole finishing
A standard sprocket for a single strand or double strand chain includes a shaft hole ready at a diameter stated inside the table of dimensions. Once you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference to your outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of a sprocket has to be challenging and wear resistant because they are impacted when engaged using the rollers with the chain and worn by sliding with the rollers. When extreme dress in and substantial shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Types, development and supplies
manufactured from carbon steel or cast steel should be utilized and high-frequency hardening ought to be performed.
The typical sprockets 40 to 120 having a hub on only one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened even when the quantity of teeth is smaller. Whether or not the solution is induction hardened or not is proven in the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for the reference. Additionally, inside the following cases, induction-harden the teeth of your sprocket.?The compact sprocket has twenty or less teeth and it is made use of at 1/6 or extra from the greatest velocity stated in the table of greatest kilowatt ratings.
The compact sprocket is applied at a alter gear ratio of four:1 or a lot more.
The small sprocket is made use of for a low velocity large load transmission as in instances of selection dependant on the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are utilized in conditions exactly where the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are employed beneath circumstances the place you will find regular starts and stops or sudden normal or reverse rotations.
General cautions
For picking out the quantity of teeth and speed ration of the sprocket, see “How to pick correct chain” . For cautions for installing a sprocket on the shaft and substitute timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
