Step 1
- Number of teeth on the smaller sprocket (\(N_1\)) = 16 - Number of teeth on the larger sprocket (\(N_2\)) = 30 - Center distance between sprockets (\(C\)) = 20 inches - Chain speed = 1100 feet per minute (fpm) Show more…

A 3/4 pitch roller chain is running on a 15-tooth sprocket at 2000 rpm. Determine the maximum, minimum, and average linear velocity of the chain.

Q2) It is desired to use a roller chain drive for the spindle of a new rotating shaft fatigue testing machine. The drive motor operates at 1750 rpm and the fatigue machine spindle must operate at 2170 rpm. It is estimated that the chain must transmit 12 hp. Spindle-speed variation of no more than 1 percent can be tolerated. What minimum sprocket size should be used?
