| ||
| Cross Sectional Diameter: | Cross-sectional diameter of round belt. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Length: | This is usually given as the inside length of the belt for a closed loop belt; alternatively, it can be the roll length for an open-ended belt. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Working Tension: | Maximum recommended tension during continuous operation. This value depends on belt material characteristics and pre-load stretch or elongation. | ||

Belt Material

|
|
| ||
| Belt Material | Belt materials vary in their strength, elasticity and power transmission capabilities. Consult with manufacturer on a specific application for optimization of belt material selection. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Buna-N (Nitrile) | Buna-N provides good resistance to petroleum hydrocarbons and fuels. It is widely used with most oils, hydraulic fluids, and alcohol. Many compound variations are available for specific applications. Suggested operating temperature (-30° to 275° F). Trade names include Breon® (BP Chemicals), Chemigum® (Goodyear), Hycar® (B F Goodrich), Krynac® (Polysar Ltd.), Nipol® (Zeon Chemicals), Nysyn® NBR, (DSM Elastomers), Paracril® (Uniroyal Chemical), and Perbunan® (Mobay). | ||
| Fiber | Any fiber or fabric material round belt. | ||
| Leather | The characteristics of leather include flexibility, toughness, and resistance to abrasion. It is composed of high-strength interlocking fibers. There are two main advantages to using leather as a sealing material, its ability to absorb and retain lubricants and its effectiveness sealing against rough surfaces. | ||
| Neoprene | Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that resists degradation from sun, ozone, and weather. It performs well in contact with oils and many chemicals. Neoprene remains useful over a wide temperature range, displays outstanding physical toughness, and resists burning inherently better than exclusively hydrocarbon rubbers. Neoprene also offers resistance to damage caused by flexing and twisting. Suggested operating temperature (-45° to 230° F). Neoprene was originally engineered by DuPont Dow. | ||
| Polyurethane / Urethane | Polyurethane is a diverse class of materials exhibiting good elongation, recovery and toughness properties. They are flexible and have good abrasion resistance. (NOTE: The urethanes of the plastics industry are so named because the repeating units of their structures resemble the chemical urethane.) Trade names include Texin® (Bayer), Adiprene® and Vibrathane® (Uniroyal Chemical), Estane® (B F Goodrich), Genthane® (General Tire and Rubber), Millathane®, and Pellethane® (Dow Chemical). | ||
| PVC | Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used material that has good flexibility, smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes due to the inert nature of PVC. Brand names include: ACP® and Dural® (Alpha Gary), Geon® (Geon), Benvic® (Solvay), Flexalloy® (Teknor Apex). | ||
| Rubber | Natural compounds such as gum rubber (polyisoprene) and latex. | ||
| Other | Any unlisted belt material. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

Reinforcement
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Reinforcement | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| None | No reinforcement cord, braid, or wire. Round belts are often non-reinforced. | ||
| Fiberglass | Fiberglass is strong, durable, and impervious to many caustics and extreme temperatures; fiberglass fabrics are widely used in industry. | ||
| Kevlar® | Kevlar® is a man-made organic fiber developed by DuPont. It is characterized by Aramid fibers in an epoxy matrix. The general features of Kevlar are high tensile strength at low weight, structural rigidity and durability, high chemical resistance, low electrical conductivity, and high flame and cutting resistance. It is used in many safety and heavy-duty industrial applications. | ||
| Polyester | Polyethylene terephthalate, also called polyester fiber, refers to any one of a large family of synthetic polymers composed of at least 85% (by weight) an ester of a substituted aromatic carboxylic acid. General characteristics of this family include high tensile strength; chemical, wrinkle, and abrasion resistance; and ease of drying and washability. Industrial uses include belting, hoses, cords and threads; essentially any application where the fiber must be highly flexible, yet durable. | ||
| Steel | All grades of steel cord, braid, and wire are included in this category. | ||
| Other | Unlisted reinforcement material. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

| ||
| Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Anti-Static | Anti-static belts are conductive to prevent buildup of static electricity. | ||
| Food Grade | Food grade belts are rated for use in food processing applications. These materials typically carry approvals from agencies such as the FDA or USDA. | ||
| Hollow Belt | Hollow belts are centerless belts that reduce weight and increases flexibility. | ||
| Open-ended Roll | Comes in a roll and may be cut and spliced to desired length. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
