chain transmission?

[Patrick Gorza]

Good morning, everyone.
simple question: is it possible (for reasons I am not stretching) to replace the double belt transmission of a belt saw with a chain transmission?
thanks to those who will enlighten me. . .

put power and turn, reduction ratio and make calculation.
if it is a trapezoid belt you can definitely replace it with chain.
attention that will be to be evaluated noise, lubrication, carter for not polluting etc.
with technical data to the hand if you can talk about it, otherwise it is wasted breath.

It would have been better if you had stretched out, but so we are the ones who have to make assumptions.
In addition to the above, as I also have the bindello, which is connected to the grip of the tractor at 540 rpm, I can tell you that there must be a considerable reduction of turns to get to the saw port flywheel, perhaps even 1:3. but still the chain is quite long and fast.
keep in mind that, in emergency cases, the belt can slip, the chain no.
The reasons you want to change, which you have deliberately neglected, are the main thing to know.
