Chain Drives with Constant Velocity are used where positive action is required. Paragon Engineers manufactures Chain Drives with Constant Velocity.
Paragon Engineers also manufactures wide range of Precision Components and other allied engineering products. Chain Drives with Constant Velocity are available with rigid links and of various types of chains, like Conveying or Elevating Chains and Power Transmission Chains. The velocity is constant to some extent. Power is transmitted, in this case over a shorter distance than in the case of belt or rope drives. The wheels over which chain runs are called sprocket wheels. These wheels have projecting teeth, which fit the suitable recess in the links of the chain and thus enable a positive drive to be obtained. The pitch circle diameter of the chain sprocket is the diameter of the circle on which the hinge centers lie, when the chain is wrapped round the sprocket.
