Transmission Characteristics Of Roller Chain

Advantage:
Compared with belt drive, it has no elastic sliding, can maintain accurate average transmission ratio, and has higher transmission efficiency. The chain does not require large tension, so the load on the shaft and bearings is smaller. It will not slip, has reliable transmission, strong overload capacity, and can work well under low speed and heavy load.
Shortcoming:
Both the instantaneous chain speed and the instantaneous transmission ratio change, the transmission stability is poor, and there is impact and noise during operation. It is not suitable for high-speed situations or situations where the rotation direction changes frequently.
