Example 2
Select an electric-motor-driven roller chain to transmit 30 kW from a driver to the driven shafts of the centrifugal blower. The driver shaft is 50 mm in diameter and operates at 750 rpm, while the driven shaft is 75 mm in diameter and operates at 250 rpm. The center distance and space limitation are given as 220 and 500 mm, respectively. Small load fluctuation is expected (extracted fromRef. [IO]).
