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

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Examine the chain elongation at a portion that’s most
regularly engaged together with the sprockets (portion most likely to become worn).
Once the center on the pin with the chain to be measured reaches the arrow point, it signifies that the chain is critically elongated. In this case, change the chain.
Utilize the gage to test the dress in elongation of one’s chain.
Common terms for sprockets
Nominal quantity of sprockets
The nominal quantity of a sprocket may be the same as the nominal quantity of the corresponding chain. One example is, Chains such as 50, 50HK, and 50LD may be engaged using a sprocket 50. It’s followed by symbols and characters indicating the amount of chain strands, the number of sprocket teeth, hub form, tooth head hardening, etc.
Diameter of ready hole and shaft hole finishing
A typical sprocket to get a single strand or double strand chain has a shaft hole ready at a diameter stated inside the table of dimensions. Whenever you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference for the outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of the sprocket has to be difficult and wear resistant as they are impacted when engaged with all the rollers with the chain and worn by sliding with the rollers. When extreme dress in and massive shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Types, building and resources
made from carbon steel or cast steel must be utilized and high-frequency hardening need to be performed.
The conventional sprockets forty to 120 which has a hub on just one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened whether or not the number of teeth is tiny. Regardless of whether the products is induction hardened or not is proven in the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for the reference. Furthermore, from the following cases, induction-harden the teeth on the sprocket.?The smaller sprocket has 20 or less teeth and is applied at 1/6 or far more on the highest velocity stated inside the table of optimum kilowatt ratings.
The tiny sprocket is used at a modify gear ratio of 4:one or far more.
The smaller sprocket is utilised for any minimal speed significant load transmission as in situations of variety dependant on the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are utilized in situations wherever the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are used beneath ailments in which you will find regular starts and stops or sudden typical or reverse rotations.
Basic cautions
For choosing the amount of teeth and pace ration in the sprocket, see “How to pick right chain” . For cautions for putting in a sprocket on the shaft and substitute timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
