Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1.Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".
Drafting.
This document supersedes GB/T 20736-2006 "Fatigue Test Method for Precision Roller Chains for Transmission", and is consistent with GB/T 20736-2006.
Compared to previous versions, aside from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
---A fatigue testing method for multi-row roller chains has been added (see 7.3.5.3);
---Fatigue testing methods for plate chains have been added (see 5.2, 7.3.5.3, Appendix E, Appendix F, Appendix G, Appendix H);
---Changed from "The maximum working capacity of the testing machine is equal to or 10% greater than the maximum load applied to the specimen" to "The specifications of the testing machine should be selected..."
The maximum test load applied to the chain specimen is greater than or equal to 10% of the maximum working capacity of the testing machine (see 5.1,.2006 edition).
(5.1)
---Added requirements for the bore diameter of plate chain chucks (see 5.2);
---Added schematic diagrams for double-row roller chains and plate chains (see Figure 2);
---Added calculation formulas and corresponding explanations for step length of multi-row roller chains and plate chains (see 7.3.5.3);
---Chain numbers 10A, 16A, and 24A were changed to chain numbers 50, 80, and 120 (see Appendix C, Appendix C of the.2006 edition);
---A "Minimum Dynamic Load Requirement" column has been added to the chain attributes of the fatigue report form (see Appendix B, Appendix E, Appendix H);
---A sample verification test report form has been added (see Appendix E.4).
This document adopts ISO 15654.2015 "Fatigue test methods for precision roller chains and plate chains for transmission".
