INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION

Chain Drives are a widely used component for transmitting power between two parts at a greater distance. But other than this, they are also used for shorter distances. The power is communicated by a roller chain, known as the drive chain, which passes over a sprocket gear, with the gear teeth intersecting holes in the chain's links.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHAINS USED IN CHAIN DRIVES, AND LET'S LOOK AT THEM.

Roller chain is famous for power transmission in motorcycles and bicycles. Besides the transportation industry, it is used in households and agriculture machinery. This chain is generally used in the single-strand standard chain roller chain. The power transmission is simple and reliable.

2.LEAFCHAIN

These types of chains are not used for power transmission but instead lifting. These chains only consist of pinks and link plates. Multiple lifting and counterbalancing applications include lift trucks, forklifts, straddle carriers and lift masts. These lifting applications can readily handle high tensile stresses without breaking.
