Average Velocity of Chain Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Chain Velocity = pi*Pitch Circle Diameter of Sprocket*Speed of Chain Drive Shaft in RPM/60
v = pi*D*N/60
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Average Chain Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Chain Velocity is the velocity of a chain at a specific point, describing the rate of movement of the chain in a geometric system.
Pitch Circle Diameter of Sprocket - (Measured in Meter) - Pitch Circle Diameter of Sprocket is the diameter of the circle that passes through the center of the sprocket's teeth in a chain drive system.
Speed of Chain Drive Shaft in RPM - Speed of Chain Drive Shaft in RPM is the rotational speed of the shaft that transmits power to the chain drive mechanism in a geometric system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pitch Circle Diameter of Sprocket: 167.3 Millimeter --> 0.1673 Meter (Check conversion here)
Speed of Chain Drive Shaft in RPM: 479.4626 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v = pi*D*N/60 --> pi*0.1673*479.4626/60

Evaluating ... ...

v = 4.20000008700561

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.20000008700561 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.20000008700561 ≈ 4.2 Meter per Second <-- Average Chain Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Pitch of chain given Pitch Circle Diameter

LaTeX Go Pitch of Chain = Pitch Circle Diameter of Sprocket*sin(3.035/Number of Teeth on Sprocket)

Number of Teeth on Sprocket given Pitch Circle Diameter

LaTeX Go Number of Teeth on Sprocket = 180*asin(Pitch of Chain/Pitch Circle Diameter of Sprocket)

Speed of Rotation of Driving Shaft given Velocity Ratio of Chain Drives

LaTeX Go Angular Speed of Chain Driving Shaft = Velocity Ratio of Chain Drive*Angular Speed of Chain Driven Shaft

Velocity Ratio of Chain Drives

LaTeX Go Velocity Ratio of Chain Drive = Angular Speed of Chain Driving Shaft/Angular Speed of Chain Driven Shaft

Average Velocity of Chain Formula

LaTeX Go

Average Chain Velocity = pi*Pitch Circle Diameter of Sprocket*Speed of Chain Drive Shaft in RPM/60
v = pi*D*N/60

What is Sprocket?

A sprocket is a wheel with teeth or cogs that mesh with a chain, track, or other perforated or indented material. It is commonly used in machinery and vehicles to transmit rotary motion and force between two shafts or to move a track or chain over a distance. Sprockets are essential components in bicycles, motorcycles, and various mechanical systems.
