Kinetic and Dynamic Characteristics Analysis of Timing Chain System for Diesel Engine

Abstract

Kinetic characteristics of chain drive system were investigated in this paper and some corresponding mathematical models were established. In accordance with the theory of chain drive, based on the multi-body dynamics software platform, a dynamic analysis model of timing bushing chain system for diesel engine was established. Chain tension force, chain contact force and chain fluctuation in a rotation cycle at different running speeds were analyzed. By analysis and evaluation these results, the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the chain drive system during the operation could be effectively recognized, this research results can provide a basis for production tests.
