STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Centre Distance between Chain Pulleys: 573.8 Millimeter --> 0.5738 Meter (Check conversion here)
Pitch of Chain: 22 Millimeter --> 0.022 Meter (Check conversion here)
Number of Teeth on Driving Sprocket: 17 --> No Conversion Required
Number of Teeth on Driven Sprocket: 34 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_n = 2*(C/P)+(z₁+z₂)/2+(P/C)*((z₂-z₁)/2*pi)^2 --> 2*(0.5738/0.022)+(17+34)/2+(0.022/0.5738)*((34-17)/2*pi)^2

Evaluating ... ...

L_n = 105.003713386173

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

105.003713386173 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

105.003713386173 ≈ 105.0037 <-- Number of Links in Chain

What is Links in Chain Drive?

Links in a chain drive are the individual segments that make up the chain. Each link typically consists of two outer plates, two inner plates, pins, and bushings or rollers. These links are connected to form a flexible and continuous loop, allowing the chain to engage with sprockets and transmit motion and power efficiently.

How to Calculate Number of Links in Chain?

Number of Links in Chain calculator uses Number of Links in Chain = 2*(Centre Distance between Chain Pulleys/Pitch of Chain)+(Number of Teeth on Driving Sprocket+Number of Teeth on Driven Sprocket)/2+(Pitch of Chain/Centre Distance between Chain Pulleys)*((Number of Teeth on Driven Sprocket-Number of Teeth on Driving Sprocket)/2*pi)^2 to calculate the Number of Links in Chain, Number of Links in Chain formula is defined as a method to determine the total number of links required in a chain drive system, considering the center distance, pitch, and other parameters, to ensure efficient power transmission and minimize wear and tear on the system. Number of Links in Chain is denoted by L_n symbol.

How to calculate Number of Links in Chain using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Number of Links in Chain, enter Centre Distance between Chain Pulleys (C), Pitch of Chain (P), Number of Teeth on Driving Sprocket (z₁) & Number of Teeth on Driven Sprocket (z₂) and hit the calculate button.
