Advantages of Different Transmissions4 ME350 Advantages of Belt Drives >Electrical insulation is provided because there is no metal- to-metal contact between driver and driven units. There is less noise than with a chain drive >Flat belts can be used for extremely long center distances where chain weight would be excessive Flat bets can be used at extremely high-speeds where chain inertia must be considered as influencing chain fit at the sprocket and chain tension. No lubrication is required. >Shaft center distance variation and shaft alignment is much less critical than for gear drives or chain drives. 5

Advantages of Different Transmissions ME350 Advantages of Chain Drives Shaft center distance variation may be more easily accommodated than with gear drives ● Easier to install and replace than belts because the center distance between driven and driver units need not be reduced for installation(splice and link belts overcome this objection at the cost of lower power ratings). Require no tension on slack side,so bearing loads are reduced. Do not slip or creep as do belt drives (except for toothed belts). Chain drives are more compact because sprocket diameters are smaller and chains are narrower than sheaves and belts for the same power transfer. Chains do not develop static charges Chains do not deteriorate with age,heat or oil and grease. Chains can operate at higher temperatures than belts. 6

Advantages of Different Transmissions ME350- Advantages of Gear Drives Gear drives are more compact than chain or belt drives because center distances are minimum. Gears have greater speed capabilities than either belts or chains. Gears have a greater range of speed ratios than chains. Gears can better transfer high power at high speed than can either belts or chains. Metal gears do not deteriorate with age,heat or oil and grease and they do not develop static electric charges. 7
