The Complete Guide to Chain

4. How to Select Chains

3. Chain speed coefficient, Kv; sprocket tooth coefficient, Kc Adjust the transmission capability according to the chain speed and number of teeth in the small sprocket (Figure 4.6). The sprocket coefficient is labeled Kc . 4. Impact coefficient, K This coefficient (Figure 4.7) is based on the inertia ratio of the driving machine and driven machine (ratio of I , ratio of GD 2 ) and the amount of play in transmission equipment. When the inertia ratio is less than 0.2 or greater than 10, use the value of 0.2 or 10, respectively.
