advantage
Compared with belt transmission, it has no elastic sliding and can maintain accurate average transmission ratio, resulting in higher transmission efficiency; The chain does not require large tension, so the load on the shaft and bearings is relatively small; Not slipping, reliable transmission, strong overload capacity, able to work well under low speed and heavy load.
shortcoming
The instantaneous chain speed and instantaneous transmission ratio are both variable, resulting in poor transmission stability, impact and noise during operation, making them unsuitable for high-speed situations and situations where the direction of rotation changes frequently.
