An industrial belt can be considered as an interface between two members of a device for power transmission. Industrial belts are used for various applications and in different places. Due to their high diversity, industrial belts have many differentiating factors, the most important of which include high tensile strength, friction, and flexibility.
Types of industrial belts
flat belt
This belt is used due to its high power and speed in long distances, flat belt in addition to having a long life and very high working efficiency (up to 98 percent) has very little noise while doing work. This belt has high flexibility and does not need a groove to do anything. The applications of this belt can be mentioned in sawmills, water pumps and industrial machines in general.
ribbed belt
ribbed industrial belt is made from a combination of two flat and V-shaped belts, this type of industrial belt is one of the types of longitudinal belts, the structure of the ribbed belt is It is a type that has a small thickness, and its outer surface is flat and the inner surface has V-shaped grooves. The design of the ribbed belt in this way causes the slippage and tensions between the pulley and the belt to be uniform. Among the applications of ribbed belts, we can mention industrial and mining equipment such as compressors, concrete mixers, agricultural machines, etc.
Cogged belt (timing)
The timing belt is also known as timing belt or toothed belt, the timing belt has a high performance at constant speed, that is why in Timing belts can be used for jobs where the slightest slip causes damage. Generally, toothed belts are used in applications that transfer motion directly and with precise timing, such as motorcycles and cars.
Round belt
Round belts have a round cross-section and are used in pulleys with V-shaped or U-shaped grooves. Also, round belts have high friction in Low torques perform better. The round industrial belt can be made of plastic or metal.
V-shaped belt
The V-shaped industrial belt can be divided into two categories: coated and rib, these belts are due to the trapezoidal cross-section, the belt It is also called trapezoidal or butterfly. This type of industrial belt is used in various industries due to its reasonable price and easy installation. If the length of the V-shaped belt is made in accordance with the established standards, this type of industrial belt has the ability to withstand high pressure and tension
Multi-groove belt
Multi-groove belt is considered a combined industrial belt that is made by putting together several V-shaped belts, which therefore has a thinner diameter and flexibility. More flexibility and higher strength, this belt is used because it provides very high strength while working in very large sets.
