This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Verify the chain elongation at a portion that’s most
frequently engaged with the sprockets (portion more than likely to be worn).

This gage checks the wear-elongation of chains.
Check the chain elongation at a portion that’s most
regularly engaged with the sprockets (portion most likely for being worn).
When the center from the pin in the chain to be measured reaches the arrow level, it signifies that the chain has become critically elongated. In this instance, replace the chain.
Make use of the gage to check out 
the dress in elongation of one’s chain.
Basic terms for sprockets
Nominal variety of sprockets
The nominal amount of a sprocket is definitely the same since the nominal quantity of the corresponding chain. By way of example, Chains such as 50, 50HK, and 50LD may be engaged that has a sprocket 50. It is actually followed by symbols and characters indicating the number of chain strands, the quantity of sprocket teeth, hub style, tooth head hardening, etc.
Diameter of prepared hole and shaft hole finishing
A typical sprocket for a single strand or double strand chain features a shaft hole ready at a diameter stated in 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 challenging and put on resistant because they are impacted when engaged using the rollers with the chain and worn by sliding together with the rollers. When significant wear and significant shocks are anticipated, sprocket.
Varieties, construction and supplies
made from carbon steel or cast steel ought to be utilised and high-frequency hardening really should be conducted.
The regular sprockets 40 to 120 using a hub on just one side for single and double strand chains are induction-hardened whether or not the amount of teeth is tiny. Whether the item is induction hardened or not is proven from the tables of dimensions of respective sprockets for the reference. Furthermore, in the following cases, induction-harden the teeth of your sprocket.?The small sprocket has twenty or significantly less teeth and is employed at 1/6 or extra of your maximum speed stated in the table of greatest kilowatt ratings.
The tiny sprocket is made use of at a modify gear ratio of 4:1 or extra.
The little sprocket is used for any reduced pace large load transmission as in cases of assortment dependant on the “Low-speed selection”.
Sprockets are used in situations the place the teeth are heavily worn.
Sprockets are utilized beneath circumstances the place there are frequent starts and stops or sudden regular or reverse rotations.
Standard cautions
For choosing the number 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 replacement timing, see “Installation adjustment maintenance” .
