ABSTRACT:
A plate-link chain for a motor vehicle drive system. The chain includes a number of link plates articulatingly connected to each other by rocker members that extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the chain and are positioned in openings in the link plates. Forces are transmitted through opposed, curved contact surfaces on the rocker members and on the link plate openings. The contact surfaces are formed in a cross section extending in the longitudinal direction of the plate-link chain and define upper and lower contact surface regions, relative to the height dimension of the rocker member. The link plate opening curves in an inward direction in an intermediate region between the contact surfaces.
