About Flat Belts
Flat belts are used in power transmission and conveying systems. They are noted for their power transmission efficiency, cost effectiveness and ease of installation and use. Typical applications include conveyors, compressors, machine tools, and other heavy industrial equipment.
When comparing flat belt drives to V-belt drives, there are advantages to using flat belts. The small bending cross-section of the flat belt causes little bending loss. This fact, coupled with even running and the absence of pulley wedge effects, leads to higher flat belt efficiency. The maximum possible efficiency attained by flat belts is 98%. The gain in efficiency also leads to corresponding savings in energy compared to V-belt a fact that has been proven during practical trials. Service life may also be better for flat belt drives. In flat belt drives, the belt is frictionally engaged on the outer pulley diameter, not on the lateral wedge surfaces as in the case of the 'V' belt drive as a result the wear on the belts and pulleys are less in flat belts. Also, if several 'V' belts run on one drive, they wear unevenly due to production allowances. V-Belts are often tensioned haphazardly i.e., until the individual belts no longer wobble, flat belts can be installed very simply and securely. Belts are tensioned to the calculated initial tension by means of simple measuring marks to be applied to the belt.
