The calculation is designed for a geometrical design
and strength check of common chain transmissions using
roller
chains. Application is developed in MS Excel, is multi-
language, supports Imperial and Metric units and
solves the
following tasks:
- Selection of a power suitable type of chain.
- Selection of an optimum transmission alternative
regarding power, geometry and weight.
- Calculation of geometric, strength, safety and
operational parameters.
- Calculation of power parameters and axis loads.
- Support of 2D and 3D CAD (AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT,
IntelliCAD, Ashlar Graphite, TurboCAD, BricsCAD,
ZWCAD, ProgeCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks,
SolidEdge, Creo).
The application includes corresponding databases of
roller chains. The calculations use data, procedures,
algorithms and data from ANSI/ASME, ACA (American
Chain Association) ISO, DIN, BS and JIS.
