Before we look into the advantages and disadvantages of chain drives, it will be a good idea if we first understood what they really are.
A chain drive is simply defined as a mechanism that transmits power mechanically from a machine's engine to its wheel through an endless rotating chain.
Examples of machines that utilizes the chain drive mechanism include tractors, bicycles and chain saws.
Note: Based on the respective uses of the chain drive, they can be classified into three types. These are:
Power Transmission Chains
Load Lifting Chains
Hauling Chains
Please read the introduction to chain drives and its types here.

Amazing facts in Basic Technology
Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated
Lighter was invented before matches
Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner was credited with the invention of lighter in 1826 while the match was made 3 years later
Volkswagen group of companies own some of the top cars of the world. These are Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini and Porsche
Notable points in Basic Technology
Arrowhead lines are lines with pointed edges at one or both ends. The pointed edges are in the form of an arrow.
Arrowhead lines are used:
At the end of dimensional lines.
As measurement lines.
A thin continuous line could be a straight or curved line. However, the main point to remember is this: 'it is a tiny line with no dot or dashes within it'.
_______________________
A thin continuous line is used for representing the followings:
Projection lines
Hatching lines
Construction lines
Short center lines
Measurement lines
Diagonal lines used to state plane surfaces
Intersections
Leader lines
Backside section lines
Any action that involves the servicing, checking, replacing and repairing of an equipment, object or device is termed maintenance.
Maintenance has two main goals. These are:
To prevent a breakdown
To repair the breakdown
Below are the types of maintenance:
Preventive maintenance
Corrective maintenance
Predictive maintenance
Periodic maintenance
Reinforcement
Overhaul
Softwoods are often derived from coniferous trees, that is: trees with needle-like leaves, and whose seeds are covered in cones.
Below are some characteristics of softwood:
Most softwood have lower densities than hardwood (weighs lower).
In terms of price, they are often less expensive than hardwood.
Their growth rate is faster than hardwood.
Most softwood do not shed their needle-like leaves during the year. However, the softwood 'larch' and 'cypress' are exceptions.
They are less fire resistant.
