凸(tu)輪(lun)軸與(yu)曲軸之(zhi)間(jian)的常見(jian)傳(chuan)動(dong)方式包(bao)括齒(chi)(chi)輪(lun)傳(chuan)動(dong)、鏈(lian)條傳(chuan)動(dong)以及(ji)齒(chi)(chi)形膠帶(dai)傳(chuan)動(dong)。下置凸(tu)輪(lun)軸和中置凸(tu)輪(lun)軸與(yu)曲軸之(zhi)間(jian)的傳(chuan)動(dong)大(da)多采用圓柱形正(zheng)時(shi)齒(chi)(chi)輪(lun)傳(chuan)動(dong)，一般從曲軸到(dao)凸(tu)輪(lun)軸只需要(yao)一對齒(chi)(chi)輪(lun)傳(chuan)動(dong)，如果傳(chuan)動(dong)齒(chi)(chi)輪(lun)直徑過大(da)，可以再增(zeng)加1個中間(jian)惰輪(lun)。為了(le)嚙合平穩并降低工作噪聲，正(zheng)時(shi)齒(chi)(chi)輪(lun)大(da)多采用斜齒(chi)(chi)輪(lun)。

鏈(lian)(lian)(lian)條(tiao)(tiao)傳動(dong)常(chang)見于頂置(zhi)凸(tu)(tu)輪(lun)軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)與曲軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)之間(jian)，但(dan)其工(gong)作可靠性和耐(nai)久性不如齒輪(lun)傳動(dong)。在(zai)高轉(zhuan)速(su)發(fa)(fa)動(dong)機上(shang)廣泛使用(yong)齒形(xing)(xing)膠(jiao)帶代替傳動(dong)鏈(lian)(lian)(lian)條(tiao)(tiao)，但(dan)在(zai)一些大功率發(fa)(fa)動(dong)機上(shang)仍然使用(yong)鏈(lian)(lian)(lian)條(tiao)(tiao)傳動(dong)。齒形(xing)(xing)膠(jiao)帶具(ju)有工(gong)作噪聲小、工(gong)作可靠以及成本低等特(te)點(dian)。對于雙頂置(zhi)凸(tu)(tu)輪(lun)軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)，一般(ban)是排氣(qi)凸(tu)(tu)輪(lun)軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)通過正時齒形(xing)(xing)膠(jiao)帶或鏈(lian)(lian)(lian)條(tiao)(tiao)由曲軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)驅動(dong)，進氣(qi)凸(tu)(tu)輪(lun)軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)通過金(jin)屬鏈(lian)(lian)(lian)條(tiao)(tiao)由排氣(qi)凸(tu)(tu)輪(lun)軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)驅動(dong)，或進氣(qi)凸(tu)(tu)輪(lun)軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)和排氣(qi)凸(tu)(tu)輪(lun)軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)均由曲軸(zhou)(zhou)(zhou)通過齒形(xing)(xing)膠(jiao)帶或鏈(lian)(lian)(lian)條(tiao)(tiao)驅動(dong)。
