The document contains 4 mechanical design problems involving chain drives. Problem 1 involves calculating the horsepower, center distance, and torque for a double-strand No. 60 roller chain connecting a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rpm to a 52-tooth driven sprocket. Problem 2 involves calculating the horsepower, chain tension, and required length for a triple-strand No. 40 roller chain connecting a 21-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 1200 rpm to a driven sprocket with a 4:1 velocity ratio. Problems 3 and 4 involve specifying the required chain length and size to connect given driving and driven sprockets under various operating conditions.

Sheet (3) Chain Drive
Solve the following design problems, assume any missing data, and use the tables for selecting standard roller chain dimensions (according to ANSI).
(1) A double-strand No. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power
between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. Find the rated horsepower of this drive, and determine the approximate center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. Calculate also the torque on the driving shaft produced by this chain.
(2) A triple-strand No. 40 roller chain transmits power from a 21-
tooth drivingsprocket, which turns at 1200 rev/min. The velocity ratio is 4:1. a. Calculate the rated horsepower of this drive. b. Find the tension in the chain. c. What should be the chain length if the center distance is to be about 20in?
(3) A roller chain is to transmit 90 hp from a 17-tooth sprocket to
a 34-toothsprocket at a speed of 300 rev/min. The load characteristics are moderateshock with abnormal service conditions (poor lubrication, cold temperatures,and dirty surroundings). Specify the length and size of chain required for acenter distance of about 25 pitches.
(4) A 720 rev/min 10-hp squirrel-cage motor is to drive a two-
cylinder Reciprocating pump which is to be located out-of-doors under a shed. The Pump speed is 144 rev/min. Select suitable chain and sprocket sizes.
