        abstract = {Driving and timing chains are common machine components that are always being upgraded in terms of wear and energy efficiency. Reduced wear is especially important for timing chains consisting of sprockets, as the chain is crucial to the combustion engine's operation. The present article reviews the study conducted by the researcher over the wear characteristics of chain-sprocket. The classification of all the major elements that can possibly wear in chain sprocket mechanisms like roller, chain pin, sprocket, pin and bush, and linking plate is described in this article. In addition, wear consideration in the design of chain-sprocket consisting formulae and conditions is explained. The methodology to examine the wear in chain Sprocket are different from each other. The present article describes the process to measure the wear in the chain and sprocket. Moreover, the parameter such as preload, heat treatment, material consideration, lubrication, fabrication, wear measurement, and chain wear that influences the wear life is explained.},
