Chain Drives | Types of Chain Drives and their uses

Chain Drive and Types of Chain Drive:

What is chain drive?

Chain drives are suitable for small center distances and can be used generally up to 3 meters but in special cases even up to 8 meters.

Chain drives transmit power up to 100kw and operating peripheral velocity up to 15m/s. The velocity ratio can be as high as 8:1.

The main disadvantage of the belt drives and the rope drives is that the velocity ratio does not remain constant, but varies on account of slip.

Since chain drives are positive drives there is no slip, hence the velocity ratio will remain constant.

Chain drives are employed for a wide range of power transmission applications, like bicycles, motorcycles, rolling mills, agricultural machinery, machine tools, conveyors, coal cutters, etc.

A chain drive consists of a chain and two wheels, called Sprockets. The sprockets are toothed wheels over which an endless chain is fitted.

Types of Chains Used in Power Transmission
1. Roller chain
2. Silent chain
3. Leaf Chain
4. Flat-top Chain
5. Engineering Steel Chain
