Reposting the same limited data is unlikely to get you anything further.
If nothing else, how about a link to the expensive cam follower system, so we can at least see one possibility.

My question is clear :

Thats what a lot of chain of all styles are driven by.

I also read your previous post and I agree with others that the info is very vague. From your description, I envision an overhead using say X-358, X-458 or X-678 chain. If this is the case, and you are talking about something to pull the chain (you never push chain) why aren't you using a standard Caterpiller drive or "Cat" drive where one sprocket is driven vertically from the reducer and a roller chain with the proper dogs goes around an idler. The dogs engage in every second pitch of the chain.

i mentioned in my previous posts that we are using chain sprocket drive and caterpillar drive.But caterpillar drive is very robust and expensive.i am looking for any other ideas to pull the chain.if any ideas in your mind please let me know as early as possible.
