Power Transmitted by Roller Chain Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power Transmitted by Chain Drive = Allowable Tension in Chain*Average Chain Velocity
P_c = P₁*v
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Power Transmitted by Chain Drive - (Measured in Watt) - Power Transmitted by Chain Drive is the amount of power that is transferred from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful work.
Allowable Tension in Chain - (Measured in Newton) - Allowable Tension in Chain is defined as the maximum limit of tension that a chain can resist.
Average Chain Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Chain Velocity is the average velocity of the chain that is used in the chain drives.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Allowable Tension in Chain: 2400 Newton --> 2400 Newton No Conversion Required
Average Chain Velocity: 4.1 Meter per Second --> 4.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_c = P₁*v --> 2400*4.1

Evaluating ... ...

P_c = 9840

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9840 Watt -->9.84 Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9.84 Kilowatt <-- Power Transmitted by Chain Drive

(Calculation completed in 00.014 seconds)

Tooth Correction Factor given Power Rating of Chain

Go Tooth Correction Factor = Power Transmitted by Chain Drive*Service Factor of Chain Drive/(Multiple Strand Factor*Power Rating of Chain)

Multiple Strand Factor given Power Rating of Chain

Go Multiple Strand Factor = Power Transmitted by Chain Drive*Service Factor of Chain Drive/(Power Rating of Chain*Tooth Correction Factor)

Power Rating of Chain

Go Power Rating of Chain = Power Transmitted by Chain Drive*Service Factor of Chain Drive/(Multiple Strand Factor*Tooth Correction Factor)

Power to be Transmitted given Power Rating of Chain

Go Power Transmitted by Chain Drive = Power Rating of Chain*Multiple Strand Factor*Tooth Correction Factor/Service Factor of Chain Drive

Service Factor given Power Rating of Chain

Go Service Factor of Chain Drive = Power Rating of Chain*Multiple Strand Factor*Tooth Correction Factor/Power Transmitted by Chain Drive

Allowable Tension in Chain given Power Transmitted by Roller Chain

Go Allowable Tension in Chain = Power Transmitted by Chain Drive/Average Chain Velocity

Average Velocity of Chain given Power Transmitted by Roller Chain

Go Average Chain Velocity = Power Transmitted by Chain Drive/Allowable Tension in Chain

Power Transmitted by Roller Chain

Go Power Transmitted by Chain Drive = Allowable Tension in Chain*Average Chain Velocity

Power Transmitted by Roller Chain Formula

Power Transmitted by Chain Drive = Allowable Tension in Chain*Average Chain Velocity
P_c = P₁*v
