Banded Belt Series

MAXBELT Banded Series construction allows multiple belts to function as a single unit, with even load distribution and each strand fitting securely in the sheave groove. It is ideal for heavy industrial power transmission applications with vertical running shafts and large center distances. it can withstand impact loads and clutching applications.

A. Adhesion Rubber

The adhesion rubber binds the tensile cord, fabric cover and compression rubber to prevent separation of the belt components during use.

B. Abrasive resistant top rubber tie band

It assures strong bond, high lateral rigidity, guiding the belt in a straight line and preveting it from coming off the drive.

C. Cover Fabric

The cover is abrasion resistant, flexible and provides a firm grip onto the sheaves to minimize slippage during use. It is woven from several plies of yarn, rubber treated for maximum adhesion and protects the contents from the elements and static build-up under adverse usage conditions.

D. Tension Cord

The tensile cord is the power transmission element within the belt. Cords are wound around the belt in an uninterrupted spiral for enhanced tensile strength. The cords are twisted in various configurations to match the load application and prestreched prior to belt assembly for length stabilization and minimum stretch during use.

E. Compression Rubber

The compression rubber provides support for the load carrying tensile cords while dissipating heat generated from belt use. It is formulated to be resistant to flex cracking and compression fatigue.
