A chain drive consists of an endless chain wrapped around two sprockets as shown in Fig. 1. A chain can
be defined as a series of links connected by pin joints. The sprocket is a toothed wheel with a special
profile for the teeth. The chain drive is intermediate between belt and gear drives. It has some features
of belt drives and some of gear drives.
Important tables required for the chain selections & design from design data book.
Given data
RPM = 100rpm
*Design of chain-sprocket
The number of teeth for the both sprocket are same because we will have to transmit same power to
another axis.

To provide small sag, for allowing the chain links to take the best position on the sprocket teeth, the
centre distance is reduced by (0.002a). Therefore, the correct centre distance is given by
a= 0.998*400
a=399mm
