The horsepower rating table should be used to determine the most appropriate chain and sprocket. 1. Example…Design Horsepower — 7 HP, single strand application. a) Assume that the RPM of the small sprocket is 100. Judging from the intersection point of the design horsepower’s value of 7 HP and the RPM value of 100, RSD80LAMBDA and a sprocket with either 15 teeth or 16 teeth can be selected. Sprockets with 15 teeth are more economical than those with 16 teeth. 16 2. b) Assume that the RPM of the small sprocket is 300. An RS60-13 tooth sprocket is appropriate from the intersection point in the same manner above. The line for RS50-24 teeth can also be seen near the intersection of 7 HP and 300 RPM. Therefore, either RS60-13 teeth or RS50-24 teeth can be selected. When the chain speed is less than 160 ft./min., it is more economical to choose your LAMBDA Roller Chain by the selection method for slow speed drives. Step 4. Step 6. Determine the number of teeth for the small sprocket. Determine the number of teeth for the large sprocket. Use Table II to obtain the approximate chain size and the number of teeth for the small sprocket. Compare this information to the Drive LAMBDA® Horsepower Ratings tables and determine if Drive LAMBDA is appropriate for the speed and horsepower of the application. Select the proper chain type, chain size, and sprocket size. Refer to the number of revolutions of the high speed shaft (the driving shaft when the speed is reduced; the driven shaft when the speed is increased) and the design HP value. For smoother chain drive, a smaller pitch is suggested. If a single strand chain does not satisfy the transmission requirements, use a double strand chain. If there are space limitations, a double strand chain with a smaller pitch may be used. Step 5. Check the dimensions of the sprockets. Basic Formula for Chain Drive 1. Chain Speed (S) S(ft/min) = P • N • n 12 Where P = Chain pitch (inch) N = Number of teeth/sprocket n = Revolutions per minute (rpm) 2. Chain Tension (T) T(lbs) = 33,000 x HP S Where S = Chain speed (ft/min) HP = Horsepower to be transmitted (HP) 3. Number of pitches of chain (L) Selection Guidelines Drive LAMBDA® After determining the number of teeth necessary for the small sprocket, refer to the Sprocket Dimension tables to check if the sprocket diameter satisfies the space limitation. Multiply the number of teeth for the small sprocket by the speed ratio. More than 15 teeth is suggested. The number of teeth on the large sprocket should be less than 120. By reducing the number of teeth for the small sprocket, the number of teeth for the large sprocket can be reduced. 2 L = N1 + N2 + 2C + (N2 - N1 /6.28) 2 C Where N1 = Number of teeth on large sprocket N2 = Number of teeth on small sprocket C = Distance between shafts expressed in number of links 17 Selection Guidelines Drive LAMBDA® continued ANSI Sprocket Dimensions ANSI SPROCKET DIMENSIONS 18 No. of Teeth RS40 1/2" Pitch Pitch Outside Dia.

Step 1. Confirm the operating conditions of the conveyor. Step 2. Tentatively select the chain size. Step 3. Calculate the design chain tension. Step 4. Verify the chain selection. Step 5. Verify the allowable roller load. Step 1. Confirm the operating conditions of the conveyor. The following information is needed to design a chain conveyor. a. Type of conveyor (slat conveyor, bucket conveyor, etc.) b. Method of chain travel (horizontal, inclined, vertical) c. Type, weight, and size of conveyed materials d. Weight of materials to be transported per foot of conveyor length e. Conveyor speed f. Conveyor length g. Considerations for special environments Step 2. Tentatively select chain size. Selection Guidelines Conveyor LAMBDA® To tentatively select the chain size, estimate the chain tension (T) by the following formula. A chain with an allowable load equal to or greater than the above calculated chain tension may be tentatively selected. 22 T (lbs) = MT • f • k1..................(1) Where MT= Total weight of material conveyed (lbs) f = Coefficient of friction, sliding and/or rolling (f1 and f2 of Tables I and II, see page 23) k1 = Chain speed coefficient (Table III, see page 24) Step 3. Calculate the chain tension. Next, the chain tension should be calculated using the actual weight of the conveyor chain and material conveyed, as shown below. 1. Chain rolling 2. Chain sliding Table I. Coefficient of Rolling Friction (f1) Type of Roller Coefficient (f1) Oversize “R” Standard “S” Side or Top roller (plastic) 0.08 0.14 0.06 Note: Side or top roller (f1) to be used for accumulating load calculation.

Selection Guidelines Conveyor LAMBDA® Λ 23 Selection Guidelines Conveyor LAMBDA® continued Step 4. Step 5. Verify chain selection. Verify the allowable roller load. Multiply the chain tension (T) by the chain speed coefficient (k1) listed in Table III and verify the following formula. When the load is carried on the rollers, the total weight of the chain and load per roller should not exceed the allowable roller load shown in Table IV.
