  2. Roller chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_chain

    Roller chain and sprocket The sketch of roller chain, Leonardo da Vinci, Codex Atlanticus. Roller chain or bush roller chain is the type of chain drive most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on many kinds of domestic, industrial and agricultural machinery, including conveyors, wire- and tube-drawing machines, printing presses, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles.

  3. Skip-link chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip-link_chain

    Chain wear is dominated by wear between pins and bushings, and this is the same as a modern roller chain. Skip-link chain is specific to bicycles and is not otherwise widely used. Skip link chain became obsolete sometime in the 1950s because roller chain was becoming more widely used in the manufacturing of bicycles. [1]

  4. Sprocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprocket

    16 tooth sprocket. Do = Sprocket diameter. Dp = Pitch diameter A sprocket and roller chain. A sprocket, [1] sprocket-wheel [2] or chainwheel is a profiled wheel with teeth that mesh with a chain, rack or other perforated or indented material. [3] [4] The name 'sprocket' applies generally to any wheel upon which radial projections engage a chain ...

  5. Wear coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_coefficient

    Traditionally, the wear of materials has been characterized by weight loss and wear rate. However, studies have found that wear coefficient is more suitable. The reason being that it takes the wear rate, the applied load, and the hardness of the wear pin into account. Although, measurement variations by an order of 10-1 have been observed, the ...

  7. Chain drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_drive

    Most often, the power is conveyed by a roller chain, known as the drive chain or transmission chain, [1] passing over a sprocket, with the teeth of the gear meshing with the holes in the links of the chain. The gear is turned, and this pulls the chain putting mechanical force into the system.

  8. Master link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_link

    A master link or quick-release link is a roller chain accessory that allows convenient connection and disconnection of a chain without the need for a chain tool. [1] It acts as a set of the chain's outer plates, so joining two sets of the chain's inner plate ends. Such master links may or may not be re-usable. [2]

  9. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The velocity v of the chain or belt is the same when in contact with the two sprockets or pulleys: v = r A ω A = r B ω B , {\displaystyle v=r_{A}\omega _{A}=r_{B}\omega _{B},\!} where the input sprocket or pulley A meshes with the chain or belt along the pitch radius r A and the output sprocket or pulley B meshes with this chain or belt along ...
