Flat Belt Pulleys for Taper Bushes (European Standard)
The aluminium flat belt flanged pulleys with bore for Taper-Lock bush complete our standard series of flat belt pulleys. They are ideal for transmissions in which a high number of turns is required and where there is a slight loss of power due to bending of the belt. They also feature restriction flanges which retain the belt during the start-up stage, acceleration or when transmission occurs in a vertical position. These pulleys are also obtained from chill-casting using the aluminium FIPILL alloy which allows hard oxidation treatment.
Advantages of flat belts
1. The efficiency of flat belts in 98%, which is equal to that of gears.
2. They have high load carrying capacity.
3. They can be employed where high operating speed is required.
4. They produce less noise compared to v-belts.
5. They can absorb shock loads compared to v-belts.
Properties of a flat belt material
1. The material from which belt is made of should have high coefficient of friction.
2. To withstand the tensions created, the belt material should have high tensile strength.
3. When belt passes through pulley bending stress is induced, to avoid this this the material should be flexible and should not be rigid.
4. The material should have water resistance.
