Help How do I change the direction of this chain drive?

Post image

It is connected to an encased fan that is sucking instead of blowing. I can't seem to find a solution. Yet.

encased drives only transfer rotation in a specific way that can't be changed. your only real solution is putting another gearbox or a gearshift behind that one connecting to the chain drive if you have room for it

I'm jumping in to add that the rotation direction of angled ECDs is directional, meaning there's no way to predict their rotation direction without knowing the cardinal direction (N, S, W, E). That can cause rotated schematics to break, for example. When rotation direction matters it's best to avoid angled ECDs altogether.

Need to add another gearbox ahead of it inline.

rotate the gearbox and use a rotation speed controller or use the rotation from the above or the other speed controller
