silent chain

Silent chain, or Universal joint inverted-tooth chain, is definitely a type of chain with teeth formed upon its links to activate with the teeth in the sprockets. Silent chains drives aren’t truly silent. The links in a silent chain drive, however, build relationships the sprocket teeth with little effect or sliding, and because of this a silent chain generates less vibrations and noise than other chains. The quantity of noise produced by a silent chain drive depends of many elements including sprocket size, quickness, lubrication, load, and drive support. A link belt silent chain contains removable links joined by rivets or interlocking tabs. These chains offer the advantage of set up without dismantling drive elements, reducing inventory, and raising temperature ranges
