This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Examine the chain elongation at a portion which can be most
often engaged with all the sprockets (portion probably to become worn).

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check the chain elongation at a portion and that is most
regularly engaged together with the sprockets (portion most likely to become worn).
Once the center from the pin of the chain to be measured reaches the arrow stage, it implies that the chain continues to be critically elongated. In this case, substitute the chain.
Make use of the gage to test the put on elongation of the chain.
Standard terms for sprockets
Nominal amount of sprockets
The nominal number of a sprocket will be the identical since the nominal amount of the corresponding chain. For example, Chains such as 50, 50HK, and 50LD may be engaged that has 
a sprocket 50. It is followed by symbols and characters indicating the amount of chain strands, the quantity of sprocket teeth, hub kind, tooth head hardening, etc.
Diameter of ready hole and shaft hole finishing
A normal sprocket to get a single strand or double strand chain features a shaft hole ready at a diameter stated from the table of dimensions. Once you finish the shaft hole, machine it in reference towards the outer diameter or root diameter.
Hardening of tooth heads
The teeth of a sprocket must be difficult and wear resistant because they are impacted when engaged with all the rollers with the chain and worn by sliding with all the rollers. When severe wear and large shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Styles, building and resources
manufactured from carbon steel or cast steel must be utilised and high-frequency hardening should really be conducted.
The normal sprockets forty to 120 using a hub on only one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened even though the number of teeth is small. No matter whether the item is induction hardened or not is proven inside the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for the reference. On top of that, inside the following situations, induction-harden the teeth on the sprocket.?The compact sprocket has twenty or less teeth and it is utilized at 1/6 or more of your maximum pace stated from the table of maximum kilowatt ratings.
The compact sprocket is used at a adjust gear ratio of four:1 or more.
The smaller sprocket is used for a reduced speed substantial load transmission as in scenarios of assortment dependant on the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are used in situations the place the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are applied below problems in which there are actually regular commences and stops or sudden frequent or reverse rotations.
Common cautions
For deciding on the amount of teeth and speed ration with the sprocket, see “How to pick correct chain” . For cautions for putting in a sprocket on the shaft and replacement timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
