Design of the Engine Timing Silent Chain System Based on the Pitch-variation Algorithm by Wang Yujin, An Lichi, Wang Jiawei

“…By using the secondary development of the CAE software, a multi-body dynamics model of the timing silent chain system was generated in real time, and the chain link track, the tension force between chain links, and the tensioner vibration in the system designed by the new method were analyzed at different speeds. The results show that, for the new design method proposed, the transmission stability and high-speed characteristics are good, the system matching degree and the chain wear resistance are excellent, and the tension force between chain links is stable, so the design requirements can be met. …”
