Polyester
 

Polyester or polyethylene perephthalate refers to members of a large family of synthetic polymers that are composted of at least 85% (by weight) of an ester of a substituted aromatic carboxylic acid. General characteristics of polyester include high tensile strength; ease of drying and washability; and chemical, wrinkle, and abrasion resistance. Industrial uses for polyester include belting, hoses, cords, threads, and other products which require highly flexible, but durable fibers.

 


Products & Services
Timing belts are transmission drive belts with teeth for efficient, high-power synchronous drives. Metric pitch is the distance between belt teeth based on millimeters.
Flat belts are used in transmission and conveying systems. They feature transmission efficiency, cost effectiveness and ease of installation and use. Typical belt applications include conveyors, machine tools, and heavy industrial equipment.
Round belts and o-ring belts are light-to-medium duty power transmission belts. They can be solid or hollow, and can easily be used in 3-D applications.
V-belts are power transmission drive belts with a triangular or trapezoidal cross section. They are available in a variety of belt materials, reinforcement styles, and speed configurations.
Washers are disks of metal or non-metallic material placed beneath a nut, an axle bearing, or a joint, to relieve friction, prevent leakage, isolate, prevent loosening, or distribute pressure.
