Advantages of roller chains:

1. The roller chain effectively transmits power

Because it won't slip. The speed ratio is fixed and absolute speed ratio.

2. The efficiency of roller chain is 98%

Under good lubrication, the efficiency of any load is quite good. This efficiency can be maintained throughout the service life.

3. Universality of roller chain

It can still operate effectively in harsh environments such as dirty, oil, mixed air, etc. A single power source can drive multiple output shafts at the same time, and the speed can be adjusted by the size of the ratchet gear.

4. The ability of roller chain to absorb vibration

The chain itself is elastic, and when the oil film exists in each part, it can protect the shaft and motor from impact force and strain.

5. Light weight and small space

The width is narrow, it can be installed in a very small space, and the unit transmission horsepower takes up less space.

6. The roller chain is durable

Because the load is shared by many teeth on the ratchet gear, the force of each single gear is small to ensure the life.
