Selecting the Right Drive System - Costs and Performance

From Gates Corporation
 

 
The popularity of chain drives stems from the ability of these drives to transmit high torque levels in a small package, at relatively low cost, while utilizing readily available stock components. While initial costs of standard roller chain drives can be quite low, the cost of maintaining these drives can be substantial. Proper maintenance is essential for optimal roller chain drive performance, and includes the following cost factors:
