ABSTRACT:
A silent chain comprises a plurality of link plates, each having a pair of tooth parts and pin holes, stacked in the thickness direction as well as in the length direction and linked together using linking pins. Guide links are provided on the outermost sides of the link plates and are press-fit to the ends of linking pins. The guide links and link plates are relatively positioned to reduce wear on a chain guide surface by causing either the guide links or the link plates to substantially contact the guide surface.
