Question: A chain drive using bush roller chain transmits 5 . 6 kW of power. The driving shaft on an electric motor runs at 1 4

A chain drive using bush roller chain transmits 5.6 kW of power. The driving shaft on
an electric motor runs at 1440 r.p.m. and velocity ratio is 5. The centre distance of the
drive is restricted to 550\pm 2% mm and allowable pressure on the pivot joint is not to
exceed 10 N/mm2. The drive is required to operate continuously with periodic
lubrication and driven machine is such that load can be regarded as fairly constant with
jerk and impact. Design the chain drive by calculating leading dimensions, number of
teeth on the sprocket and specify the breaking strength of the chain. Assume a factor of
safety of 13.
