The advantage of a properly tensioned multi-strand chain drive is?

A properly tensioned multi-strand chain drive contributes significantly to a longer service life. Proper tension ensures that the chain is neither too tight nor too loose, which reduces wear and tear on the chain and the sprockets. When chains are properly tensioned, they operate more smoothly, which minimizes stress on individual components. This balanced operation helps prevent premature failure caused by excessive vibration or misalignment that can occur with improper tension. Therefore, maintaining the correct tension not only enhances the overall durability of the drive system but also prolongs the intervals between maintenance and replacements, resulting in an extended service life.
