In any automobile the power is transmitted from one shaft to another by using chain drive. Chain drive consists of chain, driving sprocket and driven sprocket. The driving sprocket is connected to engine output shaft, which transfer power to driven sprocket by chain. Further this driven sprocket transfer power to drive shaft. The design and material selection of this chain drive plays a vital role in efficient running of the automobile. Present the material used for chain drive is mild steel. This paper involves increases the strength of the Pulsar 180cc chain drive by selecting the different materials (AISI 1050 steel, EN 8 steel, EN 32 steel, EN 19 steel and C45 steel). In this the Pulsar 180cc chain drive designed through reverse engineering approach and detailed finite element analysis is carried out to calculate stresses and deflections on the chain drive. Later the analysis is extended to fatigue analysis to estimate the life of the chain drive and the dynamic analysis is carried out to calculate stresses and deflections on the chain drive when it is in motion. SOLID WORKS software is used for doing 3D model of chain drive and ANSYS is used for doing finite element analysis.
