4.6.1.

Chain specification:

For this project a chain with the following specification is selected. The chain is selected
according to IS: 2403 — 1991

ISO chain no: 06B

Pitch (p) in: 9.525mm

Roller diameter maximum (d1) = 6.35mm

Width between inner plates (b1) = 5.72mm

Transverse pitch (P1) =10.24mm

Minimum breaking load =8.9KN

Length of chain, L

The approximate length of the chain L in pitches is

The minimum center distance between the smaller and larger sprockets should be 30 to 50 times
the pitch. Let us take it as 50 times the pitch.

∴ Centre distance between the sprockets,

50P = 50 * 9.525 = 823.2mm

In order to accommodate initial sag in the chain, the value of center distance is reduced by 2 to 5
mm.

∴ Correct center distance

X = 476.25-3 =473.25mm

Where

K = number of chain links

X= Correct center distance

C = is center distance between two ratchet wheels

N1 = number of teeth on the driving wheel

N2= number of teeth on the driven ratchet wheel

In our case the number of teeth of driving and driven ratchet wheel are 17 and 21 respectively.
[1]

Therefore, we know that the number of chain links

K =191.23

⸫ Length of the chain L = K* P

L = 191.23 * 9.525

L = 1821.18mm

Table 21.5. Number of teeth on the smaller sprocket.


From the above table for a speed ratio of one and roller chain the minimum number of teeth
is 31. The rest parameters of the sprocket will be obtained based on the pitch of the chain
and number of teeth. [26]

Da = 69.47mm
7. Root diameter (Df) = D – 2 ri = 63.91mm – 2 x 0.605mm = 63.7mm

8. Tooth width (bf1) = 0.93 b1 when p ≤12.7mm

X. Selection of bearing
A Roll bearing is a machine element which supports another moving machine element (known as
journal). It permits a relative motion between the contact surfaces of the members, while
carrying the load. A little consideration will show that due to the relative motion between the
contact surfaces, a certain amount of power is wasted in overcoming frictional resistance and if
the rubbing surfaces are in direct contact, there will be rapid wear. In order to reduce frictional
resistance and wear and in some cases to carry away the heat generated, a layer of fluid (known
as lubricant) may be provided. The lubricant used to separate the journal and bearing is usually a
mineral oil refined from petroleum, but vegetable oils, silicon oils, greases etc., may be used.
In the time bearing selection things that must be consider is
 Loading capacity
 Movability or speed
 Torque capability
 Location
 Lubrication supply
So by considering all the above parameters the selected bearing for the purpose of our design
project is roller bearing. Roller bearing has its own advantage than anther, this advantages makes
preferable for my design, among those advantage some of them are listed below.
1, load carrying capacity is good in either axial or radial
2, easy for maintenance
3, has good rotation or lubrication simplicity
4, easily available and has low cost. Etc…
Therefore a bearing with internal diametere of 20mm is selected . [4]

X. Bearing house
By itself it is so difficult to join or connect the bearing with other components due to this a
bearing house is needed. This bearing house used to fasten the bearing with the horizontal
bar without any vibration.
