Drive chains are also called roller chains. A mechanical element that transmits power from a motor or other source of power as tension to a driven shaft via a gear-like rotating element called a sprocket. It consists of 5 parts: inner plate, outer plate, pin, bush and roller, and is generally used in low-speed, high-load power transmission and lifting drives. Features include: large reduction ratio, high flexibility in the distance between shafts, both sides can be used for multi-axis shaft transmission, etc., and can be used in a variety of situations thanks to its long service life, high strength and corrosion-resistant series.

- ·Large reduction ratio (Usually up to 1:7 )
- ·Chains can be used with long shaft center distances (normally up to 4m). By changing the number of links, it is possible to freely adjust the shaft center distance.
- ·The chain can be used on both sides and drive multiple shafts at the same time.
- ·Easy installation and replacement. (Easy to cut and connect chains )
- ·If the distance between shafts is short and the chain is guided, it can be driven vertically.
- ·The sprocket diameter of a chain drive could be smaller than a belt sprocket while transmitting the same torque.
- ·Transmitting power by meshing many teeth results in less wear of sprocket teeth than gears.
- ·Chain drives have greater shock absorption than gear drives.
