Chapter 17, Problem 26P

A four-strand no. 40 roller chain transmits power from a 21-tooth driving sprocket to an 84-tooth driven sprocket. The angular speed of the driving sprocket is 2000 rev/min.

  1. (a)   Estimate the chain length if the center-to-center distance has to be about 20 in.
  2. (b)   Neglecting chain length effects, estimate the tabulated horsepower entry H tab for a 20 000-h life goal.
  3. (c)   Estimate the allowable horsepower for a 20 000-h life.
  4. (d)   Estimate the tension in the chain at the allowable power.

(3) A circular cam 8-in in diameter rotates off-center with an eccentrity e = 1" & operates the roller follower that is carried by the arm. The roller follower is held against the cam by means of a tension spring attached a third from a fixed pivot point. The force against the cam & roller follower is approximately 50lb @ the low position & 80lb @ high position. The ratio of the coil diameter to that of wire diameter is 7.0. The allowable stress on the spring is S,= 60,000psi. Calculate : P (a) the wire diameter; (b) the outside diameter of spring; (c) the number of active coils recommended.

A mini motorcycle is driven by a combustion engine with mechanical transmission. The 12Hp motor spins at a speed of 1150 rpm. The motorcycle runs at a linear speed of 45 km/h on 12-inch wheels. Preliminary center to center distance is 13”. This type of motorcycle requires two strands (conical double sleeve assembly) and is subjected to hard shocks. Can I get a detailed explanation for Choice of chain and sprocket. (Standard part number, see catalog) https://pdf.directindustry.com/pdf/martin-sprocket-gear/general-catalog/9091-246439.html
