Specification of Drive Chain Set
1. Sprocket Drive (Front Gear)
Sprocket is a wheel shape gear with outer gear proportionate profile to transfer the torsion via chain. Sprocket Drive is made of Carbon Steel material with even hardening pressure on all surface.
There are 2 kinds of Sprocket production process:
- Fine Blanking, by using mold and pressing machine forming all teeth at once
- Hobbing, using ordinary machining toll creating the gear tooth one by one
2. Drive Chain
Serves as a connecting medium that transform the torsion of Sprocket Drive (Fr Sprocket) to Sprocket Driven (Rr Sprocket). The Drive Chain is composed by several components made out of Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel sheets with even hardening process on all surface. Drive Chain is lubricated and dyed with Grease so there will be no section that are not lubricated. Grease is useful to reduce wear due to friction between components.
Components of Drive Chain are:
1. Pin Link Plate, as the Pin holder that will hold the overall load of chain
2. Bush Link Plate, as Bush holder that will hold the overall load of chain
3. Bush, as bearing for Pin so as to be protected from shock load
4. Roller, serves to smooth the chain movement on the Sprocket so as to reduce the shock load
5. Pin, as a load holder working on the chain
The components of the Drive Chain connection are:
Types of Drive Chain:
• Type 420-
• Type 428-
• Type 520-
3. Sprocket Driven (Rear Gear)
Sprocket Driven or commonly referred to as Rear Gear in accordance with its position torsion receiver from chain to spin the rear wheel.
Sprocket Driven is made of carbon steel and zinc plated to prevent rust.
Sprocket Driven (rear gear) is using Rim on Honda model: GL Pro, Mega Pro, Tiger, and Blade
The Rim function is to protect if the chain is broken or loose so that it does not get stuck in the sprocket bolt.
And those without rim or plain models:
Frequently asked questions in the market
How to take care of the chain and gear to be last longer?
1. Do not let the chain dry, immediately put grease to avoid wear and tear on Bush and Roller
2. Clean Rr Sprocket from dust or dirt, because it can shorten the life span of the chain and speed up the sprocket wear
Can we cut chain ?
We can tune the chain when it starts to loose. After few time tuning and the chain can no longer be tuned then please do not cut the chain. Immediately replace with new one.
