Abstract

The chain drive consists of endless chain wrapped around two sprockets and can be defined as a series of links male and female links which connected by pin joints. This is special type of power train most commonly used in bicycles, automobiles, industrial equipment and heavy earth moving equipment. Of two sprockets, one sprocket drives the systems called as power wheel and other called pinion. Due to this motion some tension develops in the chain. Due to the action of tension some stresses will be developed inside the chain links. The main aim of the paper is to find the stress distribution in male and female links and to find which link is weaker and ratio of maximum stress in male link to female link.
