This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check the chain elongation at a portion and that is most

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check the chain elongation at a portion which is most
usually engaged together with the sprockets (portion most likely to become worn).
When the center with the pin with the chain for being measured reaches the arrow level, it signifies that the chain is critically elongated. In this instance, exchange the chain.
Use the gage to check out the put on elongation of the chain.
Basic terms for sprockets
Nominal amount of sprockets
The nominal variety of a sprocket is the very same as the nominal number of the corresponding chain. Such as, Chains this kind of as 50, 50HK, and 50LD can be engaged that has a sprocket 50. It truly is followed by symbols and characters indicating the quantity of chain strands, the number of sprocket teeth, hub form, tooth head hardening, and so forth.
Diameter of ready hole and shaft hole finishing
A common sprocket for a single strand or double strand chain has a shaft hole prepared at a diameter stated in the table of dimensions. Once you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference to your outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of a sprocket need to be tough and dress in resistant because they are impacted when engaged with all the rollers of your chain and worn by sliding together with 
the rollers. When serious wear and big shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Varieties, construction and resources
manufactured from carbon steel or cast steel should really be utilized and high-frequency hardening ought to be performed.
The conventional sprockets forty to 120 with a hub on only one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened even if the number of teeth is modest. No matter if the merchandise is induction hardened or not is shown in the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for your reference. Furthermore, in the following scenarios, induction-harden the teeth with the sprocket.?The smaller sprocket has 20 or significantly less teeth and it is made use of at 1/6 or more of the greatest pace stated during the table of highest kilowatt ratings.
The little sprocket is used at a transform gear ratio of 4:1 or extra.
The little sprocket is employed for a low velocity massive load transmission as in cases of variety based upon the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are used in conditions where the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are applied underneath situations where there are regular starts and stops or sudden normal or reverse rotations.
Basic cautions
For selecting the amount of teeth and velocity ration on the sprocket, see “How to pick good chain” . For cautions for installing a sprocket on the shaft and substitute timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
