Timing Chain
The timing chain from a Honda sportsbike engine.
Notice how each link of the chain is composed of 4 or 5 piled-up segments... Thus, at every pin, 9 such segments bear the load. This allows the use of smaller pins and makes for a lighter, more compact chain that can carry a lot of tension. This chain is used inside the engine to ensure that the movements of the different components are perfectly synchronized.
