Selecting a Chain for 11kW Electric Motor Gearbox

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on selecting a suitable chain for an 11 kW electric motor gearbox. Prakash seeks guidance on chain selection, referencing the BS standard for common chain sizes based on tension. The key term for further research is "roller chain specification," which is essential for understanding the appropriate chain selection process. Mechanical handbooks, particularly the Machinery Handbook, are recommended resources for detailed specifications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric motor specifications, particularly 11 kW motors.
  • Familiarity with gearbox mechanics and their requirements.
  • Knowledge of chain types, specifically roller chains.
  • Access to mechanical handbooks, such as the Machinery Handbook.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "BS standard for roller chain specifications" to understand sizing based on tension.
  • Explore "Machinery Handbook" for detailed chain selection guidelines.
  • Learn about "gearbox torque requirements" to ensure compatibility with selected chains.
  • Investigate "chain tensioning methods" to optimize performance in electric motor applications.
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, technicians involved in motor and gearbox design, and anyone responsible for selecting chains for electric motor applications will benefit from this discussion.

Hi I want't your help to learn about chain selection I have an electric motor of 11 kw and a gearbox I want to find a suitable chain can you help me?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
YOu can refer any mechanical handbooks or Machinary handbook else give me the details i will direct u to the chain selection

Thanks
Prakash
 
There is BS standard about common chain size for different tension.
You can have a look in your school database.
The keyword is roller chain specification, something like that.
