A transmission mechanism includes a chain. The chain includes a plurality of inner link units and a plurality of outer link units. Each of the inner link units includes two inner chain plates. Each of the inner chain plates has an inner waist section. At least one of the outer link units includes two outer chain plates. Each of the outer chain plates has an outer waist section that has a protruding part and a recessed part. A distance between the inner waist sections of each of the inner link units is smaller than a distance between the protruding parts of the outer chain plates of the at least one of the outer link units, and is equal to or smaller than a distance between the recessed parts of the at least one of the outer link units.

In examples provided herein, a roller damper comprises a damper body element having mass and having a shape to fit an interior of a tubular roller element. The roller element is associated with a natural frequency. The roller damper also comprises an elastomer support member coupled to the damper body element. The mass of the damper body element and the elastomer support member are selected based on the natural frequency of the tubular roller element.

A method is provided for producing chain link plates for a plate link chain with alternating inner chain links and outer chain links, where the contour of the chain link plates has several punch sections and two face side and rear side contact sections which, after punching out the punch sections from the sheet metal strip provided, are first connected to complementary contact sections of adjoining chain link plates and separated in a subsequent separation cut. Further provided are bush or roller chains with outer chain link plates thus produced and a corresponding chain drive for an internal combustion engine with such a bush or roller chain. The method comprises the steps of: providing a sheet metal strip, punching out the punch sections of the chain link plates from the sheet metal strip, where a further rear side contact section, in addition to the face side contact sections, is respectively connected at the head portions of the chain link plates to a complementary contact section of adjoining chain link plates, and separating the face side contact sections and the rear side contact sections of the head portions of the chain link plates by way of a substantially waste-free separation cut.
