This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check out the chain elongation at a portion that’s most

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Examine the chain elongation at a portion which can be most
commonly engaged using the sprockets (portion more than likely for being worn).
Once the center of your pin of your chain to be measured reaches the arrow stage, it signifies that the chain has become critically elongated. In this instance, replace the chain.
Make use of the gage to examine the dress in elongation of your chain.
Basic terms for sprockets
Nominal amount of sprockets
The nominal number of a sprocket will be the same since the nominal variety of the corresponding chain. By way of example, Chains this kind of as 50, 50HK, and 50LD is often engaged using a sprocket 50. It truly is followed by symbols and characters indicating the amount of chain strands, the quantity of sprocket teeth, hub sort, tooth head hardening, and so on.
Diameter of ready hole and shaft hole finishing
A common sprocket to get a single strand or double strand chain features a shaft hole ready at a diameter stated while in the table of dimensions. When 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 have to be challenging and dress in resistant because they are impacted when engaged together with the rollers of the chain and worn by sliding with all the rollers. When extreme put on and huge shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Styles, construction and components
manufactured from carbon steel or cast steel ought to be made use of and high-frequency hardening must be carried out.
The conventional sprockets forty to 120 by using a hub on just one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened whether or not the quantity of teeth is little. Irrespective of whether the product is induction hardened or not is shown within the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for the reference. Additionally, from the following cases, induction-harden the teeth from the sprocket.?The tiny sprocket has twenty or much less teeth and is employed at 1/6 or extra of the optimum pace stated inside the table of maximum kilowatt ratings.
The compact sprocket is made use of at a transform gear ratio of four:one or far more.
The smaller sprocket is utilized for any minimal velocity significant load transmission as in scenarios of assortment according to the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are utilized in situations where the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are used underneath circumstances where there are actually frequent starts and stops or sudden frequent or reverse rotations.
Standard cautions
For deciding on the amount of teeth and speed ration in the sprocket, see “How to pick good chain” . For cautions for putting in a sprocket on the shaft and substitute timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
