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:

  1. Pitch elongation produced by the pin and rocker joint.
  2. Mating contours of the sprockets involute-tooth form and the chain links.

Unlike belt-drive Creep and slip is not there in chain drive.
