What Are The Advantages Of Roller Chains?

1. Advantages (compared to belt drive):
No sliding or slipping, maintaining accurate average transmission ratio;
The transmission size is compact;
No large tensioning force is required, and the load on the shaft is small;
Higher efficiency;
Can work in environments with high humidity and high temperature.
2. Advantages (compared to gear transmission):
Chain drive can absorb vibration and mitigate impact;
Simple structure, low processing cost and low installation accuracy requirements;
Suitable for transmission with larger center distance;
Able to work in harsh environments.
