Roller Chain No 41 Horsepower and Speed Ratings
ANSI Hardware Design Guide and Reference
Horsepower Ratings for ANSI Roller Chains Table For 1/2" Pitch Light Weight Machinery Roller Chain No. 41
To determine the horsepower requirements for Roller Chains the following must be taken into consideration:
- Service factors,
- Lubrication Service Factors,
- Multiple Strand Factors: For two strands, the multiple strand factor is 1.7; for three strands, it is 2.5; and for four strands, it is 3.3.,
- Lubrication: Required type of lubrication is indicated at the bottom of each roller chain size section of the table,
- Type A: Manual or Drip Lubrication, Type B: Bath or Disc Lubrication, Type C: Oil Stream Lubrication.
To find the required horsepower table rating, use the following formula:
HP Required = [ HP to be Transmitted ] x [ Service Factor ] / [ Multiple Strand Factor ]
