This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Test the chain elongation at a portion that’s most
regularly engaged with the sprockets (portion almost certainly to become worn).
When the center on the pin with the chain to become measured
This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Verify the chain elongation at a portion which is most
frequently engaged with all the sprockets (portion more than likely to be worn).
Once the center of your pin on the chain to be measured reaches the arrow stage, it implies that the chain continues to be critically elongated. In this case, replace the chain.
Make use of the gage to examine the dress in elongation of one’s chain.
Standard terms for sprockets
Nominal amount of sprockets
The nominal amount of a sprocket is the identical because the nominal amount of the corresponding chain. Such as, Chains such as 50, 50HK, and 50LD might be engaged having a sprocket 50. It can be followed by symbols and characters indicating the number of chain strands, the amount of sprocket teeth, hub form, tooth head hardening, etc.
Diameter of prepared hole and shaft hole finishing
A standard sprocket for any single strand or double strand chain features a shaft hole ready at a diameter stated while in the table of dimensions. Any time you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference for the outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of a sprocket has to be challenging and put on resistant as they are impacted when engaged with all the rollers on the chain and worn by sliding with all the rollers. When extreme dress in and massive shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Types, development and elements
made from carbon steel or cast steel should really be applied and high-frequency hardening need to be carried out.
The standard sprockets forty to 120 that has a hub on only one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened even if the quantity of teeth is small. Regardless of whether the merchandise is induction hardened or not is shown while in the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for the reference. In addition, during the following situations, induction-harden the teeth on the sprocket.?The modest sprocket has twenty or significantly less teeth and is applied at 1/6 or more from the maximum pace stated inside the table of greatest kilowatt ratings.
The little sprocket is utilized at a alter gear ratio of four:1 or more.
The tiny sprocket is applied for a minimal pace large load transmission as in situations of assortment dependant on the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are utilized in circumstances the place the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are utilised beneath circumstances in which you can find regular commences and stops or sudden frequent or reverse rotations.
Standard cautions
For choosing the amount of teeth and pace ration of 
the sprocket, see “How to pick good chain” . For cautions for installing a sprocket on the shaft and substitute timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
