In a roller chain drive an impulsive load occurs each time a roller is picked up by the driving sprocket from the chain span. These impulsive loads cause high frequency sprocket angular accelerations of large amplitude, and are the source of high frequency chain noise. Measurements of sprocket acceleration immediately after impact have been made to demonstrate the effects of different methods of lubrication on the magnitude of the impulse. Oil drip, oil jet and oil bath lubrication have been investigated for normal machine oil and very high viscosity oil. The results show considerable variations in acceleration amplitude.

Particularly at the higher sprocket speeds, one of the main sources of noise and high-frequency vibration in a roller chain drive is the impact which occurs each time the driving sprocket collects a roller from the chain span. A method of guiding the chain so as to virtually eliminate these impacts is described. Details are given of experimental tests in which a simply-constructed guide device greatly reduced the amplitude of the high-frequency vibration of a drive, and produced a very significant lowering of the noise level.

Abstract The very high frequency data exchange system (VDES) is promising in promoting electronic navigation (E-navigation) and improving navigation safety. The multiple access control (MAC) protocol is crucial to the transmission performance of VDES. The self-organising time division multiple access (SOTDMA) protocol, as the only access mode given by current recommendations, leads to a high rate of transmission collisions in the traditional automatic identification system (AIS), especially with heavy traffic loads. This paper proposes a novel feedback based time division multiple access (FBTDMA) protocol to address the problems caused by SOTDMA, such that collision of transmissions can be avoided in information transmission among vessels. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FBTDMA outperforms the traditional SOTDMA in terms of channel utilisation and throughput, and significantly reduces the transmission collision rate. The study is expected to provide insights into VDES standardisation and E-navigation modernisation.
