A chain drive using bush roller chain transmits 5500 W of power. The driving shaft on an electric motor runs at 1440 r.p.m. and velocity ratio is 4.6:1. The drive is required to operate continuously with periodic lubrication and driven machine is such that load can be regarded as fairly constant. Considering the center distance to be as minimum as possible, design the chain drive by calculating leading dimensions, number of teeth and length of the chain.

3.A chain drive using bush roller chain transmits 5.6 kW of power. The driving shaft on an electric motor runs at 1440 r.p.m. and velocity ratio is 5. The centre distance of the drive is restricted to 550 ± 2% mm and allowable pressure on the pivot joint is not to exceed 10 N/mm2. The drive is required to operate continuously with periodic lubrication and driven machine is such that load can be regarded as fairly constant with jerk and impact. Design the chain drive by calculating leading dimensions, number of teeth on the sprocket and specify the breaking strength of the chain. Assume a factor of

An input shaft of a gearbox with motor power P = 7 kW and rotation number n = 1300 rpm. The diameter of an input shaft is d = 20 mm and its material is 16MnCr5. A force of F = 2800 N forces the shaft due to the operation of a gear wheel connected with a wedge on the input shaft. The distances of the gear from the bearings are given as L₁ = 40 mm and L2 = 60 mm. In the most dangerous section, you are required to check the strength according to the S = 3 safety factor. If the section is unsafe in terms of strength, what changes would you make in the design to make it safe? (The surface of the spindle is machined as fine chips, reliability poor Kg = 1.).
