is there any way to add power of two independent chain drives having different rpm , such that slipping doesn't occur and driven shaft move with the added resultant power

Averagesupernova said:A differential in reverse. I believe there is a word for that but it escapes me. Combiner perhaps?

AlephZero said:You need to think this through carefully, otherwise you may end up with one motor driving the other motor backwards instead of driving the load. If this is a problem you would have to add something that works the same as a limited slip differential.
For many types of motor, the power output depends on the RPM, so you will need to make sure the drive system is stable, in the sense that one motor can't speed up and produce more power, and force the other motor to slow down and produce less power.
To calculate the power of two chain drives without slipping, you will need to know the speed of the driving sprocket, the number of teeth on the driving sprocket, and the number of teeth on the driven sprocket. You can use the formula Power = (Speed x Torque) / 5252 to calculate the power in horsepower (HP).
The purpose of adding power of two chain drives without slipping is to increase the power transmission efficiency, reduce wear and tear on the chains, and decrease the chances of slipping or breaking of the chains. This allows for smoother and more reliable operation of machinery.
To prevent slipping in power of two chain drives, proper tension must be maintained on the chains. This can be achieved by using a tensioner or by adjusting the center distance between the two sprockets. It is also important to regularly lubricate the chains and ensure that they are in good condition.
Slipping in power of two chain drives can be caused by various factors such as inadequate tension on the chains, worn or damaged sprockets, insufficient lubrication, misalignment of the sprockets, or excessive load on the chains.
One potential disadvantage of adding power of two chain drives without slipping is that it can increase the complexity and cost of the system. Additionally, if the tension is not properly maintained, it can lead to premature wear and failure of the chains. However, the benefits of increased power transmission efficiency and reduced slipping and wear generally outweigh any potential drawbacks.
