Higher Speed Chain Horsepower Capacity Calculator










Calculation Formula

The formula to calculate the horsepower capacity at higher speed is:

\[ HP = \frac{1700 \cdot T_1^{1.5} \cdot P^{0.8}}{N_1^{1.5}} \]

Where:

  • \(HP\) is the horsepower capacity in horsepower (hp).
  • \(T_1\) is the number of teeth on the smaller sprocket.
  • \(N_1\) is the speed of the smaller sprocket in revolutions per minute (rpm).
  • \(P\) is the chain pitch in inches.
