GUIDE - PROJECT GEARING SELECTION
GEARING UP
#35 Gearing Explained
INTRODUCTION - About this guide
You can also read this guide on our website by clicking here.
When customers choose #35 pitch gearing (which we highly recommend for projects due to the 2-piece split sprockets and removable link chains – see our chain guide for more information) I am often asked the question “What is the inside diameter of your split sprocket?” and “What is the outside diameter of an x tooth sprocket” so I’ve decided to write this informative but straight-forward guide focussed on explaining what needs to be done to fit our standard race kart sprockets and gearing your project.
Generally, when gearing your project, you have 3 problems to overcome.
1.
Fitting the sprocket to your axle
2.
Ensuring the overall sprocket size does not foul on the ground or chassis
3.
Selecting a practical starting gear ratio
This guide will run you through the decision making process as well as provide technical details on the products so that you can decide if #35 race kart gearing is suitable for your project. I’ll run through these three sections quickly but informatively in the hope I don’t bore you, but that you have easy access to the information needed to get it right the first time.
PART 1 - Fitting the sprocket to your axle
Our #35 sprockets are a split sprocket which is ideal in situations where the sprocket is driven ‘inboard’ on the axle (ie: between the axle bearings). They are easy to remove and install making gearing a breeze to get correct, or to change out a worn sprocket.
You can find our full range here: http://www.cutpriceracing.com.au/store/home.php?cat=351
The centre bore size A is 116mm.
The PCD Diameter(B) is (6x) 132mm (centre of 6mm holes on opposite sides of sprocket)
All standard race-kart sprocket hubs will accept our sprockets. We can supply sprocket hubs to fit most metric shaft sizes – 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm.
You can find sprocket hubs to suit here (Click your axle size and keyway width to find your hub):
25mm/6mm, 30mm/6mm, 30mm/8mm, 35mm/6mm, 35mm/8mm, 40mm/8mm
The hubs will accept the sprocket perfectly. All you need to do is slide it onto your shaft. Select the correct size shaft version of the sprocket. If you have an imperial size shaft, we cannot offer a solution, but some people have successfully adapted the metric hubs to an imperial shaft.
PART 2 – Ensuring the overall sprocket size does not foul on the ground or chassis
Your new #35 sprocket will differ in sizing depending on the number of teeth you have chosen. Circumference will determine the number of teeth you will have. The reason the size differs is because the pitch of the chain determines the length required for one full link or tooth.
For those uninterested in the math, please skip this paragraph. #35 pitch is 9.525mm, so for every tooth, the circumference must be increased by 9.525mm. In addition, the height of each tooth is about 5mm so we need to add approximately 2.5mm extra from the centreline of each tooth (or approximately 5mm to the diameter) This means we have a formula #TEETH x 9.525mm = Pi x Diameter. Or we could write it as #teeth x 9.525mm divided by Pi = Diameter plus 5mm. Translating back to diameter, our smallest sprocket (53T) has a diameter of 53 x 9.525 / Pi (3.141592) = 166mm.
Your chain will sit around 3mm proud of the tip of each tooth, so you’ll need to add approximately 6mm to the diameter of the sprocket to get the correct clearance amount.
Here's a table of diameters:
And remember, we're here to help you get out there racing!
You can always be sure your items will leave the same day you order as long as you've made payment by 3pm that day. Sure, it's a big claim, but I know shopping online is all about getting it before the weekend race day, and that's why I'm absolutely dedicated to getting our gear out the same day you order. I believe so strongly that this is a critical component of our business that I've devoted the last two hours of the day to ensuring just that. Don't be surprised if I can't get to the phone during these times as we're probably flat out! Just leave me a message and I'll call you back asap.
I know if you've bought from us before, you've had a great experience. Nothing's changed with our focus - we still want to help the average Australian race, but we're expanding our range every day so I'd love for you to check out our latest website updates and see if we can help you again, today. Go on, visit our store at www.CutPriceRacing.com.au - I mean, surely you've got a couple of minutes for fun?
Cheers,
