Design and function of the gear chain<br />
The gear chain consists of the juxtaposed chain link<br />
plates which are continuously joined by two cradle<br />
pins. The lateral chain link plates ensure that the<br />
chain runs true.<br />
This is how it works:<br />
Each cradle pin is attached non-rotatably to a row of<br />
link plates. Two cradle pins form a so-called cradletype<br />
joint.<br />
As the chain curves around the sprocket, the chain<br />
links roll off the cradle pins. Thus, the chain curves<br />
around the sprocket almost without producing any<br />
friction.<br />
Despite high torque and continuous operation, wear<br />
is reduced to a minimum and efficiency isincreased.<br />
The chain drive is designed to last the service life of<br />
the vehicle.<br />
