Covered Timing Belts

Description: Covered timing belts are preferably of polyurethane with rubber cover to provide positive holding power to the product in vertical FFS machines. Frequently used in process applications, FFS/vacuum belts provide an excellent way of maintaining perfect control of sheet or film products during processing. Polyurethane body is ideal for timing belts being used as puller belts. Polyurethane offers extremely good abrasion resistance much better than traditional neoprene timing belts. Urethane is resistant to most chemicals, water and oil, making it well suited for tough industrial applications. Both steel and Kevlar are ideal cords for the application. They both offer very low stretch so that re-tensioning and other maintenance is not required. They are also dimensionally very stable under a wide variety of environmental conditions. These belts can be custom manufactured. Standard industry thickness of the cover is 6.4 mm (1/4 inch). Teeth side is as per customers' requirement like full teeth or partially grinded off with vacuum holes punched. Advantages include positive synchronization, no re-tensioning required, high operating speed, no lubrication required and high accuracy in moulded dimensions.
