Comparison of characteristics of Chain Drive and Gear Drive

The features of chain drive:
1.Only to drive with parallel shaft sprocket.
2.Instantaneous transmission ratio is not constant.
3.Suitable for the long distance transmission, can work well in harsh environments.

Driving Chain

The characteristics of gear:
1.High efficiency. Such as the level of cylindrical gear transmission efficiency can reach 99%, has great economic significance.
2.The compact structure. Gear drive the required space size is generally small.
3.Reliable work, long service life. Gear service life can be as long as twenty years.
4.Stable transmission ratio.
   Compared with a gear drive, chain drive requirements and installation of manufacturing accuracy is low, low cost; in the long distance transmission, the gear transmission structure than the lighter and more convenient; the requirements on the working environment is relatively low.
