Which of the following causes the variation in chain speed? Correct Answer Chordal action
Variation in chain speed is caused due to Chordal Action.
Chordal Action: It is the vibratory motion caused by the rise and fall of the chain as it goes over a small sprocket. This motion produces pulsations, vibrations, and limits high-speed, load-carrying capability.
This is possible because of two features:
- Pitch elongation produced by the pin and rocker joint.
- Mating contours of the sprockets involute-tooth form and the chain links.
Unlike belt-drive Creep and slip is not there in chain drive.
