Question
A no 60 single strand chain is operating on a 32 tooth sprocket at 1160rpm. The driven sprocket has 45 teeth. The center distance of the sprockets needs to be as close to 20" without going over. The input is an internal combustion engine and the output is a fluid agitator. Determine the toal number of links? What is the length of chain? A no 60 single strand chain is operating on a 32 tooth sprocket at 1160rpm. The driven sprocket has 45 teeth. The center distance of the sprockets needs to be as close to 20" without going over. The input is an internal combustion engine and the output is a fluid agitator. Determine the toal number of links? What is the length of chain?Explanation / Answer
Length of the chain = pi * 2.55 + pi * 10.752 + 2 * sqrt(20^2 + (10.752-2.55)^2)
= 85.022 inches
Total number of links = 85.022 / link length for no. 60 strand chain
