Transmission principle of conveyor chain transmission
Conveyor chain transmission is through the chain will have special tooth shape of the active sprocket movement and power transmission to a special tooth-shaped driven sprocket transmission mode. Conveyor chain drive has many advantages, compared with the belt drive, no elastic sliding and skidding phenomena, the average transmission ratio is accurate, reliable, high efficiency, large transfer power, strong overload capacity, small drive size under the same conditions, small tension required for the axial pressure, can be used in high temperature, humidity, dust, pollution and other harsh environment work. The main disadvantages of transmission chain are: can only be used in the two parallel axes transmission; High cost, easy to wear, easy elongation, poor transmission smoothness, operation will produce additional dynamic load, vibration, impact and noise, should not be used in the rapid reverse transmission.
