Static tension to chain varies with layouts as follows:-
Horizontal T=TMAX−T1 Selection and Handling
Vertical T=TMAX−MH× 1000 T=T M AX−MH
Inclined T=TMAX−M(H−Lf1) × 1000 T=T M AX−M(H−Lf 1 ) When H−Lf1 < 0, T=TMAX ■ Calculating Required Power 1kW=1kN・m/s 1kW=102kgf・m/s T V T× V kW= × 60 kW= 102×60 Assuming that the power loss from chain − sprocket engagement and sprocket rotational friction resistance to be 10% (1/0.9 = 1.1), When the power transmission ratio of the drive section is η , T× V 1 × T V 1 kW= 60 ×1.1× η kW= 102×60 ×1.1× η
