? Larger reduction ratio (usually as high as 1:7)
? The chain can be used for long shaft center distances (usually up to 4m). By changing the number of connecting rods, the shaft center distance can be adjusted freely.
? The chain can be used on both sides and drive multiple shafts at the same time.
? Easy to install and replace (easy to cut and connect the chain).
? If the distance between the shafts is short, it can be used vertically.
? When transmitting the same torque, the diameter of the chain drive sprocket may be smaller than the pulley.
? By meshing many teeth to transmit power, the wear of the sprocket teeth is less than that of the gears.
? Chain transmission has greater shock absorption capacity than gear transmission. https://www.drivingchains.com/ch...oll-conveyor-chains.html
