Typical uses include:

  • Fans
  • Compressors
  • Tangential drives
  • Crushers
  • Multi-pulley drives
  • Angular drives
  • Live roller conveyors
  • Presses
  • Lathes

 

V-belt replacement:

A flat belt drive can be inherently more efficient than a V belt drive, particularly a multiple-V-belt drive. V-belts have a deeper cross sectional area than a flat belt, consuming more energy every time the belt flexes. Energy is consumed as the belt is forced in and out of the grooves on a V-belt pulley. By contrast flat belts offer:

  • Higher efficiency, therefore energy savings
  • Longer life of belts and pulleys
  • Cleaner operation (the result of less abrasion)
  • Longer service life means less down time and higher productivity
  • Constant tension, no re-tension required, maintenance-free
  • Smoother operation, lower noise generation
