For a proposed chain drive design, the required power rating per strand for a no. 60 size chain is 20 hp. If the input speed for the chain drive is 1400 rpm, what is the minimum recommended sprocket size (number of teeth)?
Added by Clayton M.
Step 1
Since 1 horsepower (hp) is equal to 746 watts, we can convert the power rating from horsepower to watts. \[ \text{Power (W)} = 20 \, \text{hp} \times 746 \, \text{W/hp} = 14920 \, \text{W} \] Show more…

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?

A 10-hp engine with a speed of 1200 rpm is used to drive a blower with a velocity ratio of 3:1. The pitch diameter of the driven sprocket is 546 mm and the center distance between the sprockets is 260 mm. Use RC 40 drive and a service factor of 1.2. Determine the number of teeth of the driven sprocket, number of teeth of the driving sprocket, and length of chain in pitches.
