Step 4a. Calculate the size of the driven sprocket. Number of teeth in driven sprocket = 15 3 (50/20) = 37.5. Therefore, select a 38-tooth driven sprocket. Step 4b. Confirm that the chain meets the power requirements. According to the power transmission tables in the catalog, an RS140 chain with a 15-tooth sprocket is capable of transmitting 11.3 kW. Because 11.3 kW is greater than the design power of 9.75 kW, it is acceptable.
