ABSTRACT:
A power transmission chain reduces the chordal motion, or up/down motion, of the chain, which permits a reduction in the noise of the chain. In the chain, the inside flank and outside flank of the link teeth are formed to satisfy P.sub.2 .gtoreq.P.sub.1 .gtoreq.P.sub.3 and R.gtoreq.2.times.P, when P.sub.1 is the pitch between the outside flanks on the mesh pitch line of link plates 2, P.sub.2 is the pitch between the inside flanks of two other adjacent link plates that engage with teeth of the links when the chain is stretched nearly straight, and P.sub.3 is the pitch between the inside flanks when the chain is wrapped around the sprocket. R is the radius of curvature of the inside flank and P is the chain pitch.
