  • Cord Tensioning is Critical to Belt Performance
    Belt Pitch. The pitch of the belt is controlled by either increasing or decreasing the cord tension in the manufacturing process. Increasing the tension shortens the length, and decreasing makes the belt longer. Good control of pitch length requires control of tension. Belt Straightness. Uniform
  • What's Your Timing Belt Knowledge?
    Synchronous belts are often driven by stepping motors. These drives are subjected to continuous and large accelerations and decelerations. If the belt reinforcing fiber, i.e., tension member, as well as the belt material, have high tensile strength and no elongation, the belt
  • What is Ratcheting in Synchronous Belt Drives?
    Proper tension of synchronous belts is the tension at which the belt will transmit the required power without ratcheting when the drive system experiences full load. Synchronous belts (also referred to as toothed, cogged, timing, or high torque belts) use profiled teeth that mesh with a pulley
  • White Paper Download: Belt and Chain Drives
    , All flat belts except the toothed type mentioned in the next data section are subject to creepage because of the relative motion between the pulley surface and the adjacent belt surface which is under load deformation from the combined tension and flexural stresses. Flat belts must be kept under

  • Synchronous Belt Failure Analysis Guide, Provided by Gates (R):
    If you're replacing your belts more than once per year, it's time to. analyze your drive. From belt crimping damage to high belt installation. tension to sprocket misalignment and adverse environmental conditions,. this guide walks you through how to identify the reasons behind. premature failure
  • Absolute positioning on a budget
    When the Rock-Tenn paperboard mill in Aurora IL wanted to automate the. positioning and tensioning of the belts on its paperboard dryer conveyor. system, it took over a year to find a vendor capable of meeting the project. budget and specifications. Management wanted a robust, turnkey solution
  • Torque Sensor Application - Assembly Line / Automation
    Sensors / transducers are essential in many automated assembly, packaging and labeling processes. Below, a reaction torque sensor is setup with a servo motor in an automated conveyor belt assembly line to control the tension in the winding tape while providing feedback regarding alignment, out
