Document Summary

Is a mechanically operating system where different types of chains are used to transmit the power or for movement of somethings. Is used where the distance between the power produced and where it to be transferred is less, however, this is not applicable for all. In some cases, we can use a chain drive for longer distances power transfer. In belt or rope drive we see there is some percent of slip occurs, but in the chain, there will be no slip. But this does not mean that 100% power is transmitted from one to another device due to friction loss some amount of power loss we can generally see. In chain drive, the speed ratio remains constant which is a major advantage of chain drive and here there is no slippage and in case of belt drive, there is slippage so speed ratio changes as per slippage.
