Drive Design

NEW! Chain Drive Installation Guide Cross & Morse manufacture and supply a complete line of drives to meet the challenge of modern industry, where ever increasing powers and speeds are required in production machinery combined with precision timing. Roller Chain Drives can provide the flexibility of design and the durability that your application needs at low costs. Roller Chain Drives offer a number of design advantages: The positive action of precision roller chain is highly efficient throughout the life of the drive without power loss due to slippage, providing efficiencies of up to 98.5%. Roller Chain Drive selection is Simple and Direct. Installation, including centre distance tolerances, does not require the accuracy of other power transmission media. Roller chains can be easily connected by standard connecting links; there is no need to disturb sprockets, shafts or bearings to replace chain. Our technical team at Cross & Morse have put together a handy guide to the design of your Roller Chain Drives, including power rating graphs, calculations, formulae and tips for lubrication and maintenance.
