The chain can be divided into transmission chain, lifting chain and traction chain. Lifting chains and traction chains are used for lifting and transportation machinery. The transmission chain is widely used in general mechanical transmission. The Transmission Chain can be divided into roller chain and tooth chain.

The chain drive consists of a chain and a sprocket mounted on a parallel shaft, and transmits motion and power through the continuous meshing of the chain and sprocket teeth.

Features of chain drive:

Compared with belt transmission, there is no elastic sliding, which can maintain an accurate average transmission ratio and high transmission efficiency; the chain does not require a large pulling force, so the plate load on the shaft and bearing is very small. Will not slip, reliable transmission, strong overload capacity, can work well under low speed and heavy load;

Compared with gear transmission, it has a larger center distance, can work in high temperature environment and dusty environment, and the cost is lower.
