company news about Sprocket Drive or Gear Drive for Long-Distance Transmission? Efficiency, Cost & Maintenance Compared

For long center-distance layouts, sprockets often win because:

• Easy long-distance transmission: chains cover meters with simple structure.

• Stable for low-speed heavy loads: chain elasticity buffers shock loads better.

• Lower modification cost: change tooth count or chain length to adjust ratio.
  Gears are better for short distance, high RPM, ultra-quiet, high-precision positioning. For conveyors, agricultural drives, and mining feeders, sprocket systems are usually the most economical solution.
