Flat drive belts

When we talk aboutflatdrivebelts, we must first understand thatflatbeltsare simplypower transmission elements, so that once they are attached to pulleys, we can transmit torque.

A basic feature offlatbeltsisthat they are made from flexible materials, which makes them easy to install.Flatdrivebeltsoperateby friction with pulleys, and also play a key role in reducing vibrations between drive shafts.

Flatbelts havehistoricallybeen the most widely used and in demand on the market, with applications in all types of industrial sectors that require tools for power transmission. Today, other types oftransmissionbelts are also used, butflatbeltsstillhave some advantages over other types of belts in some cases. We are referring, for example, to all those cases in which, thanks to the use offlatbelts, we can apply cross configurations, or in other words, a type of power configuration between two non-parallel shafts. Thanks to this arrangement, we achieve a clutch action and can also configure the desired length.

We could summarize all the advantages offlatdrivebeltsas follows:

• • They can be used when the distance between the centers of the axes is large.
  • By usingflatbelts,we cancreate cross configurations, or in other words, power transmission between two non-parallel shafts, thereby achieving a clutch action.
  • Flatbeltsareextremely resistant to the most demanding conditions and also require little maintenance.
  • Withflatstraps,we canachieve the necessary length by joining the ends together.
  • Flatbelts areusuallythin, so they help reduce centrifugal force during movement.
  • In addition to all this, they offer high performance.

Types of flat belts that we can find

As we have already mentioned,flatbeltsarethe most widely used in industry historically, and we can therefore say that they are a benchmark in the sector, as they were the firstbeltstobe used.

Strapshaveevolved, especially in terms of the materials used to manufacture them, and today they come in a variety of formats. On the one hand, there areflatstrapsmadefrom a combination of polyamide and high-strength rubber.

We also offerflattransmissionbeltsmadefrom a combination of polyester and aramid, as well as polyurethane and high-strength rubber.

Another option forflatbeltsthatwe found are welded belts, manufactured from a single piece and made from materials such as polyester, aramid, cotton, and rubber.

Finally, at Dinámica we also offer the option of manufacturingflatbeltsinany combination of drive materials, designed to order.

Uses of flat belts in industry

We must bear in mind thatdrivebeltsarecurrently one of the most widely used elements in any type of friction force mechanism, especially in the connection of two or more wheels or pulleys.

It is currently a very basic and common mechanism, but its application is very old, having been used for the first time on a bicycle that used chain drive to the rear wheel, just like the ones we find today.

Later on, and up to the present day, one of the most widespread applications offlattransmissionbeltscan be foundin the automotive sector, althoughflatbeltsareused in any machinery that requires power transmission between shafts.

Dinámica flat belt catalog

InDinámica'sextensive catalog offlatbelts, you will find the following options to meet all your needs:

• • PolyBeltflat belts,whichcombine a thin layer of polyamide tensile material with a special rubber that offers very high wear resistance. They also feature a heat-sealed joint using chemical products.
  • PolySprintflat belts,whichcombine polyester or aramid traction fabrics with other layers of polyurethane and rubber with high wear resistance. In this case, these belts are joined by heat welding without chemicals.
  • Endlessflat belts:thesebelts are not welded together, but are manufactured in a single piece to the customer's specifications. These belts feature a combination of polyester, aramid, or cotton traction fabrics together with highly resistant materials such as rubber, polyurethane, polyester, or silicone.
  • Flat belts with special designs. Wealsooffer the possibility of manufacturing flat belts by combining any drive element with any wear material. This means we can offer you the possibility of custom machining and designs on request.
