This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check the chain elongation at a portion which is most
commonly engaged with all the sprockets (portion more than likely to become worn).

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check the chain elongation at a portion and that is most
regularly engaged with all the sprockets (portion almost certainly to become worn).
Once the center of your pin in the chain to get measured reaches the arrow level, it means that the chain continues to be critically elongated. In this instance, replace the chain.
Utilize the gage to check out the wear elongation of one’s chain.
Basic terms for sprockets
Nominal number of sprockets
The nominal variety of a sprocket is the very same since the nominal quantity of the corresponding chain. Such as, Chains such as 50, 50HK, and 50LD is usually engaged having a sprocket 50. It’s followed by symbols and characters indicating the quantity of chain strands, the number of sprocket teeth, hub variety, tooth head hardening, and so on.
Diameter of prepared hole and shaft hole finishing
A common sprocket for any single strand or double strand chain has a shaft hole ready at a diameter stated inside the table of dimensions. If you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference to the outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of the sprocket has to be hard and wear resistant because they are impacted when engaged with all the rollers with the chain and worn by sliding with all the rollers. When severe put on and huge shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Varieties, building and products
made of carbon steel or cast steel should be applied and high-frequency hardening should really be carried out.
The regular sprockets 40 to 120 using a hub on only one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened even though the number of teeth is compact. No matter whether the item is induction hardened or not is shown while in the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for your reference. Moreover, while in the following circumstances, induction-harden the teeth from the sprocket.?The tiny sprocket has twenty or significantly less teeth and is utilised at 1/6 or extra in the greatest pace stated during the table of maximum kilowatt ratings.
The smaller sprocket is utilized at a alter gear ratio of 4:one or much more.
The smaller sprocket is employed to get a lower velocity significant load transmission as in instances of variety determined by the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are utilized in conditions exactly where the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are utilized underneath ailments in which you can find regular starts and stops or sudden frequent or reverse rotations.
Basic cautions
For picking the amount of teeth and pace ration in the sprocket, see “How to select appropriate chain” . For cautions for installing a sprocket on the shaft and replacement timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
