The chain drive transmissions are used mainly in the automotive industry as distribution transmissions in cars. In the specific literature, the kinematics and the dynamic analysis problems are accomplished depending on the European and American standards. The contact between the chain’s bush and the chain wheel is influencing the transmissions dynamics and is influenced directly by its geometry. According to these, the paper presents the influence of the chain wheel’s geometry on the contact angle which depends on the point’s position where the normal and transversal forces are acting.
