Abstract

This research proposes to investigate the study of the strength and shape change of the sprocket and the chain on a 150cc speed motorcycle. The sprocket and chains actually depend on the material used on the sprocket and the chain and it is also according to the suitability of motorcycles that are more focused on engine speed, load and vehicle. Therefore, to save costs existing software such as SolidWorks was used to conduct studies on strengths and changes in the shape of the sprocket and chains in the form of simulation. In this study, the chain used is different in terms of the thickness of the chain itself to obtain the suitability of the chain thickness with the pressure applied. To run the simulation itself it is necessary to know and study the power of the engine and to study where to put pressure on each tooth sprocket and the chain. Additionally, it is important to select the appropriate material to determine whether the material is suitable or not with the pressure given by the engine power. Meshing the sprocket and chain using type fine mesh. Run a simulation and then get a result. After getting results, it can make comparisons of strengths and changes in design between the differences of the material and choose which materials are suitable for use on a 150cc speed motorcycle. Material suitability, "sprocket" design and chain size are very important to be used for proper motorcycles to avoid fracture or break chain when motorcycles are fast, uphill and when to start a movement.
