Drive belts designed for transmission of mechanical energy from one shaft to another using the force of friction and snagging. Connect some rotating shafts, mostly parallel. Trigger different mechanisms. Made of quality materials, possess the flexibility and toughness. Perfectly withstand the cold temperatures in winter and hot in summer.
Classification belts
Flat belts are the most popular. Used for machinery with a huge capacity. Reduce the number of jerks, when the engine is started. Lubricants absorb very well. Do not stretch. They have the lowest coefficient of friction. Widely used in mining industry, in sawmills, machines for the production of paper, textiles.
Serrated − meet the mills, woodworking machines, printing industry. Differ in significant reduction of vibration shocks. Withstand a serious load.
V-Belts have a cross section in the form of a trapezoid. Apply for industrial machinery and agricultural segment. Simple in design and maintenance. Silent in operation. Withstand the load, not fail. Can transmit energy over a considerable distance. Are resistant to the effects of lubricants and oil emulsions, petroleum products, precipitation. The use of this belt need a grooved pulley.
multi V-belts − a more versatile and elastic. Have several teeth section. Have excellent flexibility. One belt can transfer momentum across multiple nodes. Used machines for the metal processing, household and agricultural machinery, compressors, cement mixers.
Replacement drive belts
Every detail tends to wear out, belts are no exception. Wear can occur from damage, manufacturing defects, exposure to gasoline, oils, petroleum products. If you experience squeaks and other extraneous sounds, the belt should be changed, as there is a high probability that it terminates. The belt has to be installed correctly to avoid damage other parts.
Features selection
When choosing a belt, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:
- the volume level while you work;
- resistance to mechanical stress;
- resistance to chemical products;
- tension;
- maintenance and replacement;
- high rate;
Straps should be chosen based on the type of equipment and application features. The products of different manufacturers may differ in their characteristics. Special attention should be paid to the quality.
