Evaluation of friction in chain drives is the first step in the process of reducing the friction. This paper presents the results of experimental evaluation of friction in a bush chain considering only the friction in the joints of the chain (pin-bush joints and chain-sprocket joints) and not the friction in bearings. Friction is presented as friction torque, measured for a basic chain drive with transmission ratio equal to one, depending on speed. The influence of the centrifugal effect on friction is also analysed.
