This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check out the chain elongation at a portion which can be most
commonly engaged with the sprockets (portion most likely to get worn).
When the center in the pin of your chain to become measured reaches the arrow stage, it signifies that the chain has become critically elongated. In this case, substitute the chain.
Make use of the gage to check the put on elongation of your chain.
General terms for sprockets
Nominal variety of sprockets
The nominal number of a sprocket would be the exact same because the nominal amount of the corresponding chain. As an example, Chains this kind of as 50, 50HK, and 50LD could be engaged that has a sprocket 50. It can be followed by symbols and characters indicating the number of chain strands, the amount of sprocket teeth, hub type, tooth head hardening, and so forth.
Diameter of ready hole and shaft hole finishing
A standard sprocket to get a single strand or double strand chain includes a shaft hole prepared at a diameter stated during the table of dimensions. When you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference for the outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of a sprocket needs to be tough and put on resistant as they are impacted when engaged with the rollers from the chain and worn by sliding with the 
rollers. When extreme dress in and significant shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Styles, development and components
made from carbon steel or cast steel need to be utilized and high-frequency hardening must be performed.
The typical sprockets forty to 120 which has a hub on just one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened even if the amount of teeth is tiny. Whether the product or service is induction hardened or not is proven within the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets to your reference. On top of that, in the following cases, induction-harden the teeth with the sprocket.?The compact sprocket has 20 or much less teeth and it is used at 1/6 or a lot more of your optimum velocity stated inside the table of highest kilowatt ratings.
The little sprocket is applied at a transform gear ratio of four:1 or additional.
The little sprocket is made use of for a reduced speed huge load transmission as in situations of selection according to the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are used in situations wherever the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are applied below situations wherever there are frequent begins and stops or sudden typical or reverse rotations.
General cautions
For picking out the quantity of teeth and velocity ration of your sprocket, see “How to pick good chain” . For cautions for putting in a sprocket on a shaft and substitute timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
