TEMEC301 - Practical Assignment-1

This document discusses chain drive systems and their application in automobiles. It begins with an introduction to chain drives and their use in transmitting mechanical power from one place to another, particularly in vehicles. It then covers the advantages of chain drives over other transmission methods. The document provides examples of where chain drives are commonly used and outlines the key factors to consider when selecting a chain drive for automobile applications, such as power requirements and space limitations. It includes a case study example of selecting a chain drive for a special purpose vehicle.

• APPLICATION OF CHAIN DRIVE AND

ITS SELECTION METHOD FOR


AUTOMOBILE APPLICATION

Name: Johns Joseph


Roll No: TEMEC301
CONTENTS

• INTRODUCTION
• ADVANTAGES OF CHAIN DRIVE
• APPLICATIONS
• SELECTION OF CHAIN DRIVE FOR AUTOMOBILE APPLICATIONS
• CASE STUDY
• GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
INTRODUCTION

• Chain drive is a way of transmitting


mechanical power from one place to
another.
• It is often used to convey power to the
wheels of a vehicle, particularly bicycles and
motorcycles.
• It is also used in a wide variety of machines
besides vehicles
PARTS OF CHAIN DRIVE

• Pin
• Bushing
• Roller
• Inner link plate
• Outer link plate
ADVANTAGES OF CHAIN DRIVE

• Chain drive is used for power transmission with more efficiency, in belt
drive sometimes slip occurs.
• Chain drive requires less space and it is more compact than belt drive. It
produces less stress on the shaft because the sprockets are lighter than
pulleys.
• Transmit higher power compared to belt drive. Chain drive, the speed ratio is
good as compared to belt drive.
APPLICATIONS

• Bicycles
• Automobiles
• Suspending, raising, lowering loads in material handing equipment.
• Agriculture machinery
• Machinery used in construction
• Hauling applications
SELECTION OF CHAIN DRIVES FOR
AUTOMOBILE APPLICATIONS

• Selection is mostly done using manufactures catalogue.


• The following data should be taken into consideration while selecting roller
chain drives:
• A) Horsepower to be transmitted
• B) RPM of the driving and driven sprocket
• C) Load classification
• D) Space limitations if any
SELECTION OF CHAIN DRIVES FOR
AUTOMOBILE APPLICATIONS

• e) Source of power
• F) Driven machine
• If the pitch center distance and the number of teeth on both driving and
driven sprockets are known, you can use the following formula, tables and
charts to calculate chain lengths.
• There are many manufactures catalogue varying from company to company.
• The standards used are:
• 1) American Series (ANSI Standard)
• 2) British Standards
CALCULATIONS

• 1) Chain speed: S=(P.N.n)/12


• P: Chain Pitch (inch)
• N: Number of teeth of sprocket
• n: Revolutions per minute (rpm)
• 2) Chain Tension: T=(33000.HP)/ S
• S: Chain Speed (ft/min)
• HP: Horsepower to ber transmitted(hp)
CASE STUDY

• A chain drive is used in a special purpose vehicle. The vehicle is run by a 30kW
rotary engine. The efficiency of drive should be 90%. The driving sprocket
rotates at 300rpm. The driven rotates at 100rpm. And a very high torque is to
be transmitted.
• Now, power transmitted = power*efficiency
= 30(0.9)
• = 27kW
For moderate shock conditions the service factor is Ks= 1.4
• Selection of Strands:
• The no of strands depend upon the torque to be transmitted. As we have to
transmit high torque , no of strands is selected as 3 from standard table
• Tooth correction factor:
• This factor is selected on the basis of no of teeth on sprockets. As the no of
teeth are 17, K2=1.
• • Power rating = (Power transmitted * Ks)/(K1*K2)
• = (27*1.4)/(1*3)
• =12.6kW.
• Therefore from power rating table we select chain 16B.
