    This document discusses chain drive designations, general considerations for chain drive design, and provides examples of chain drive design problems and solutions. It discusses how chain drive pitch is designated based on standards, considerations for even/odd numbers of teeth, horizontal vs vertical drives, tightness, center distance, arc of contact, speed reduction, lubrication, and service life. Example problems are provided on selecting a chain for a given power transmission application between rotating components, with specifications for sprocket sizes, chain links, and center distance.

    Chain drives

    Designation of Roller chain drives


    • Let us consider the designation ‘08B’. The pitch of this chain is (08/16) inch or
    (08/16) ¥ (25.4) mm, i.e.,12.7 mm. The letter B indicates British standard series.

    Let us consider the designation ‘16A’.The pitch of this chain is (16/16) inch or 1
    inch, i.e., 25.4 mm. The letter A indicates American Standard ANSI series.

    • The chain number given in the fi rst column is supplemented by a hyphenated


    suffi x 1 for simple chain, 2 for duplex chain, 3 for triplex chain, and so on. For
    example, 08B-2 (double strand) or 16A-1 (single strand)
    General Considerations in chain drive design are
    • The number of pitches or links of the chain should be always ‘even’.

    • The no. of teeth on the driving sprocket should be always ‘odd’, such as 17, 19 or 21.

    • This will produce uniform wear.

    • Always prefer horizontal chain drives in place of vertical chain drives

    • The top side should be always the tight side and the bottom side the slack side.
    (unlike belt drives where reverse happens)

    • Too tight connected chain drive will result in increased bearing reactions and
    increased wear and tear

    • Too light connected chain drive will result in loosening of the chain resulting in
    whipping action. (lateral motion of the chain) and possible contact with bottom
    resulting wear and tear.
    General Considerations in chain drive design are
    • The centre distance between the axes of the driving and driven shafts should be
    between 30 to 50 times of the pitch of the chain.

    • The arc of contact of the chain on the smaller sprocket should not be less than 120°.

    • The speed reduction of a single-stage chain drive should not be more than 7 : 1

    • Multi-strand chains are recommended when high power is to be transmitted.


    Overhanging shafts should be avoided when multi-strand chains are used.

    • The chain should be properly lubricated as per the recommendations of the


    manufacturer or the standard.

    • The expected service life of these chains is15 000 hours


    A single-strand chain No. 12A is used in a mechanical drive. The driving
    sprocket has 17 teeth and rotates at 1000 rpm. What is the factor of safety
    used for standard power rating? Neglect centrifugal force acting on the chain.
    A chain drive is used in a special purpose vehicle. The vehicle is run by a 30 kW
    rotary engine. There is a separate mechanical drive from the engine shaft to
    the intermediate shaft. The driving sprocket is fixed to this intermediate shaft.
    The efficiency of the drive between the engine and the intermediate shafts is
    90%. The driving sprocket has 17 teeth and it rotates at 300 rpm. The driven
    sprocket rotates at 100 rpm. Assume moderate shock conditions and select a
    suitable four-strand chain for this drive.
    It is required to design a chain drive to connect a 12 kW, 1400 rpm electric
    motor to a centrifugal pump running at 700 rpm. The service conditions
    involve moderate shocks.
    (i) Select a proper roller chain and give a list of its dimensions.
    (ii) Determine the pitch circle diameters of driving and driven sprockets.
    (iii) Determine the number of chain links.
    (iv) Specify the correct centre distance between the axes of sprockets.
