Necessary Info For Drive Chain Assortment

? Type of input electrical power (electric motor, inner combustion engine with mechanical or hydraulic drive).
? Type of equipment for being driven.
? Amount of horsepower expected to supply suffi cient electrical power to your driven shaft.
? Full load pace with the fastest running shaft (rpm).
? Desired speed from the slow operating shaft ( or even the needed speed ratio). NOTE: If speeds are variable figure out the horsepower for being transmitted at each and every speed.
? Diameters from the drive and driven shafts . . . This worth might restrict the minimum quantity of teeth for the sprockets.
? Center distance of your shafts.
? Note the position and any space limitations that may exist. Usually these limitations are about the highest diameter of sprockets (this restricts using single strand chains) or the width on the chain (this restricts the usage of multi-strand chains).
? Conditions of your drive including a determination of the class of load (uniform, reasonable or heavy), extreme working temperatures or chemically aggressive environments ought to be mentioned.
