What Is Chordal Action What Is Chordal Action
The rising and lowering of an individual chain link as it enters a sprocket is known as chordal action. The reason it happens is simply due to geometry. When a chain is "wrapped" around a sprocket, the pins of the chain form a polygon shape. When you look at this polygon shape traveling around a sprocket, it is bumpy - not smooth. When a conveyor chain enters a drive sprocket, it goes from a flat line to this polygon shape and results in a rise/lowering of the pin. This effect can be lessened only by using a smaller pitch chain, or increasing the sprocket size - it cannot be prevented. That being said, depending on the elevation of the chain (in relation to the sprocket), we can control whether the chain "rises" or "lowers" to match this polygon shape.
