Custom power transmission chains needed

[sxs88]

Hello there,

I apologize in advance if this is not the right forum for this question. I seek advice on the problem below, and perhaps some pointers as to companies or individuals who can help me in this:

Potential application for a custom roller chain or other chain drives. I am severely space constrained. Details follow:

Input speed: 0 - 2500 rpm (flexible on the high end)
Drive sprocket outer diameter: 1.0 inch
Driven sprocket outer diameter: 1.0 inch
Maximum power to be transmitted: about 1700 W
Shock environment: medium
Total Width of the chain: less than 0.75"
Number of strands: as necessary (flexible)
Sprocket width: less than 1.25"
Max. Hours of continuous operations: 20

From, preliminary analyses, it is clear that any 25 or 35 chain built to ANSI standards will be constrained by link strength. Is it possible to increase the link thickness and therefore be able to transmit more power.

Any help would be appreciated in terms of links or otherwise. I have tried to contact commercial manufacturers, but without much success!

Thanks!
