The invention concerns a chain for a chain transmission with chain links coupled by a parellel chain pins, each chain link having at least one link plate, the chain pins forming pivot axes for the link plates at a pitch distance whereby a chain link axis perpendicularly intersects the two pivot axes, said link plates having towards at least one end side of the link plate a cam surface for supporting the link plate on a cylindrical support surfaces of a sprocket wheel with a pitch angle. In accordance with the invention the cam surface ends in a convex curved plane with near the end side an increasing slope angle with the link axis whereby the slppe angle increases to at least half of the pitch angle or to at least seven degrees.
