Re-design tony kart mitox gokart model (Re-design analysis of chain-drive components)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the type of chain suitable for use on karts, besides that this study aimed to determine the safety factors of chain hinges and sprocket gears used in redesigned karts. The method used in this study uses descriptive analysis method, namely by describing the data about the chain wheel on karts, after describing the data, the data are analyzed theoretically about the forces that occur in the chain wheel and the safety of the use of chain wheels used in redesigned kart After analysing the data, it was found that the chain wheels on the redesigned karts were safe to use. This is indicated by the acquisition of a hinge safety factor value of 4.02. The results of this study have an impact on the use of chain wheels on the redesigned karts in the safe category to be used for kart racing purposes.
