Figure 4.14 Example of a Hanging Chain Machine

EXAMPLE: You are planning to use a hanging transmission machine like the one shown in Figure 4.14. Determine if you can use SUPER120 for hanging and SUPER100 for the drive chain. The power source is a 3.7-kW motor (with brake). The motor shaft rotational speed is 1,500 rpm. Step 1.Check the motor characteristics.

Rated torque: T n = 0.038 kN • m Starting torque: T s = 0.083 kN • m Braking torque: T b = 0.096 kN • m Motor moment of inertia: I m = 0.015 kN • m Step 2. Calculate the chain tension based on load.

The chain tension Fw = M = 3,000 3 9.80665 3 10 - 3 = 29.4 kN Service factor Ks = 1.3 (with some shock)

The chain speed coefficient Kv = 1.02 (from the chain speed 6.2 m/min.) Coefficient for number of sprocket teeth Kc = 1.28 (14-tooth sprocket) Coefficient of unbalanced load Ku = 0.6 (two sets of chains) Determine the chain design tension F'w = Fw 3 Ks 3 Kv 3 Kc 3 Ku = 29.4 3 1.3 3 1.02 3 1.28 3 0.6 = 29.9 kN Step 3.Calculate the chain tension based on the motor loading. Calculate moment of inertia of motor shaft.
