Question
A chain drive is desired to couple a gearmotor with a bucket elevator. The 40
hp. gearmotor will operate at 350 rpm and the elevator drive shaft must operate
as close to 60 rpm as possible. Select an appropriate chain size,
commercially available sprockets, and number of links for a chain. Also calculate
the actual chain speed and the center distance.

- 3. Design Challenge: The wind turbine is designed to generate 2.5 MW of power with the blades rotating at 20 RPM. The large gear has 360 teeth and the small gear has 12 teeth. Design the high speed shaft to minimize weight. That is, choose a material (from your textbook) and cross-section dimensions such that the shaft won't yield, with a safety factor of 2.5, while keeping the shaft's weight to a minimum. Calculate the weight per meter of the shaft you designed. 2 Gear reducer High speed shaft Low speed shaft Generatorarrow_forwardA mini motorcycle is driven by a combustion engine with mechanical transmission. The 12Hp motor spins at a speed of 1150 rpm. The motorcycle runs at a linear speed of 45 km/h on 12-inch wheels. Preliminary center to center distance is 13”. This type of motorcycle requires two strands (conical double sleeve assembly) and is subjected to hard shocks. Can I get a detailed explanation for Choice of chain and sprocket.
