Flat Belt Drives

When we talk aboutflat transmission belts, we must first understand that flat beltsarenothing more than power transmission elements, so that once coupled on pulleys, we will be able to transmit torques.

A basic feature offlat beltsisthat they are manufactured using flexible materials, which will make their assembly simple.Flat drive beltsworkby friction with pulleys, and will also play a key role in reducing vibrations between drive shafts.

Flatbeltshavehistorically been the most widely used and in demand on the market, with applications in all types of industrial sectors that require tools to transmit power. Nowadays, other typesof drive belts are also used, butflat beltsstillhave some advantages over other types of belts in certain cases. We speak, for example, of all those cases in which, thanks to the use offlat belts, we can apply cross configurations, or what is the same, a type of power configuration between two non-parallel axes. Thanks to this arrangement, we will achieve a clutch action, being able, in addition, to configure the desired length.

We could summarize all the advantages ofFlat Belt Drivesas follows:

• They can be used when the distance between the centers of the axes is high.
• When usingflat belts,wecan create cross configurations, or in other words, a power transmission between two non-parallel axes, thereby obtaining a clutch action.
• Theflat beltsarehighly resistant to the most demanding conditions and also require little maintenance.
• With theflat straps,wecan achieve the necessary length, thanks to the union between their ends.
• Flatbeltsareusually thin, so they will help us reduce centrifugal force during movement.
• In addition to all this, they have high performance.

Types of flat belts that we can find

As we have already mentioned, flat beltsarethe most used in the field of industry historically, and therefore we can say that they are a benchmark in the sector, since they were the firstbeltsthatwere used.

Thestrapshaveevolved, especially in terms of the materials used to manufacture them, and today we can find them in various formats. On the one hand, we findflat beltsmanufacturedin combination with polyamide and high-strength rubber.

We also findflat transmission beltsmadein combination with polyester and aramid, as well as polyurethane and high-strength rubber.

Another option forflat beltsthatwe find are those joined by welding, manufactured from a single piece, and made from materials such as polyester, aramid, cotton, and rubber.

Finally, at Dynamics we also have the option of manufacturingflat beltsincombination with any drag material, designed on demand.

Uses of flat belts in industry

We must bear in mind thattransmission beltsarenowadays one of the most widely used elements in any type of friction force mechanism, especially in the union of two or more wheels or pulleys.

It is currently a very basic and common mechanism, but its application is very old, being used first in a bicycle that uses chain traction to the rear wheel, just like those we find today.

Later, and until today, one of the most extensive applications of flat transmission beltsis found in the automotive sector, althoughflatbeltsareused in any machinery that needs power transmission force between axles.

Catalog of flat belts from Dynamics

In the wide catalog offlat beltsfromDynamics, you will find the following options to cover all your needs:

• • PolyBelt flat belts, which are those that present a combination of a thin layer of traction polyamide with a special rubber, which has a very high resistance to wear. In addition, it has a thermoweld union with chemical products.
  • PolySprint flat belts, which combine polyester or aramid tensile fabrics with other layers of polyurethane and rubber with high wear resistance. In this case, these belts have a joint made by thermowelding without chemicals.
  • Endless Flat Belts, in this type of belt there is no welding joint, but they are manufactured in one piece with a length tailored to the client. These straps have a combination of polyester, aramid, or cotton tensile fabrics together with highly resistant materials such as, for example, rubber, polyurethane, polyester, or silicone.
  • Flat belts with special executions,wealso have the possibility of manufacturing flat belts combining any tractor element with any razing material. In this way, we can offer you the possibility of machining and designs on request.
