small round belts


Manufacturing on demand of small round endless belts in small, medium or large series, in qualities SOUPLEX POLY/FLEX DEL/FLEX DEL/ROC

Wide choice in length. Possibility to produce moulded belts for very large series (consult us for moulds quotation).

rollers driven by semi-crossed round belts


Direct transmission from a perpendicular drive shaft to each roller with SOUPLEX, POLY/FLEX or DEL/FLEX round belts. Noiseless and maintenance-free system.

Accumulation and full-load start possible, due to resistance of tensionned belts. Instant restart of rollers. Easy welding of belt on site with J15 clamp. We recommend to keep diabolos and rollers set in line.

r o l l e r- t o - r o l l e r d r i v i n g
Set of several rollers driven by round belts from a drive roller.

It is recommended to drive a maximum of 6 rollers : 4 pulled and 2 pushed by the drive roller. Recommended minimum pretension : SOUPLEX or POLY/FLEX : 8%, DEL/FLEX : 6%.

belt length calculation


D1 P D1 : roller bottom groove diameter D2 : diabolo bottom groove diameter d : belt diameter e : center distance p : rollers step roller-to-roller driving L th. = (D1 + d) x pi + 2 x p L belt = L th. - pretension EXAMPLE : SOUPLEX round belt dia. 5 mm D1 = 38 mm D2 = 28 mm d = 5 mm e = 120 mm p = 100 mm L th. = (38 + 5) x 3.14 + 2 x 100 = 335 mm L belt = 335 - 8% = 308 mm

D2

semi-crossed belt driving L th. = [(D1 + d) + (D2 + d)] x pi / 2 + 2 x [(D1+d)2/4 + e2] L belt = L th. - pretension

L th. = [(38+5)+(28+5)]x3.14/2+2[(38+5)2 /4+1202] = 363 mm L belt = 363 - 8% = 334 mm

TOPGRIP ridge-top V belts


The TOPGRIP ridge can be welded on top of all our V belts, except DEL/ROC quality, resulting in a wide range of ridge-top V belts adapted to various conveying problems. The technical characteristics (Traction force, elongation, friction coefficient...) of our TOPGRIP belts are similar to the characteristics of the base belts. Only the pulley diameter changes:

welding process

Plug the M50 or M51 welding iron in. As our welding iron includes a thermostat, you should plug the iron in at least 8 minutes before welding. Cut both ends of the belt, in a sharp 90 angle, with S135 graduated cutter.

Insert the ends of the belt into the appropriate clamp (J50 or J60), allowing 5 mm of each end to protrude into the inside (If the belt to weld is a DEL/ROC, strongly tighten the top screws of the clamp).

Slide the blade in between both ends of the belt and make sure that the blade bears on the whole surface to weld. Tighten slightly and leave the ends melt. Wait until you get a good bead of melted material on each side.

Open the clamp,quickly remove the welding iron and re-close at once, tightening accordingly to the cross section of the belt (the bigger the belt, the more tightened the clamp). Maintain the clamp close using the side screw and let the belt cool (which should take between 2 and 5 minutes, depending on the size of the belt). If you do weld a DEL/ROC belt, this step will have to be handled even faster.

and V belts

Clean the welding point. Check the alignment of the welding point out, as well as its homogeneity (no bubble of air) and solidity (by bending it). Fit the belt on the machine. NB: Always use a clean and very hot welding iron. Both ends of the belt to weld should be perfectly clean as well.

CLEAN THE BLADE OF THE WELDING IRON IMMEDIATELY. M51 welding iron : Wipe the blade with a clean 100% cotton cloth. Fer M50 : Remove most of the melted material with the blade of a knife (without scraping the iron), and wipe the rest out with a clean 100% cotton cloth. Do not use any cloth that may contain synthetic materials, which would melt in contact with the blade of the welding iron, and then contaminate the welding iron.

For V belts only : If you use a J25 welding clamp, cut both ends of the belt with a 45 angle, using our S135 cutter. Insert the ends of the belt into the J25 clamp, allowing 5 mm of each end to protrude into the inside . The two dies of our J25 welding are not in the same horizontal line (1 mm difference for small belts, 2 mm for bigger belts), to compensate for the slippage of the belts' ends due to melting when brought together for welding. The exerted pressure on the handles during the melting will bring both ends back in the same alignment.

OVERLAP welding process

Cut the belt 70 mm longer than its theorical length. Put the top end of the belt into the corresponding die of the clamp and close it. Read the X measure at the right of the reference pin, on the small side ruler.

Open the clamp and place the second end in.

When the M150 iron is warm enough, insert it between both ends of the belt.

Tighten little by little the side screw, until the previously noted X measure gets to the left of the reference pin .

Loosen the side screw with your right hand, keeping the clamp closed with your left hand. Then, quickly, open the clamp, remove the welding iron, and close the clamp again. Both fused ends will get in contact and weld.

Keep the clamp closed with the side screw, and let the belt cool 5 to 10 mn. The right side of the reference pin should then show the X measure on the small ruler.

Remove the belt and clean the welding point. 39

The belt is ready to work.

A V belt is driven by its sides. The belt must come off its pulley by 1mm, so that the product conveyed may not touch the pulley.

driving round belts


D d

A round belt is driven by a round-groove pulley. The diameter of this round groove should be 1mm greater than the diameter of the belt for smaller round belts, and 2mm greater for round belts from diam. 12 mm on. d < 12 mm d > 12 mm = D = d + 1 mm D = d + 2 mm

If the belt runs in wet or greasy conditions, we recommend that the round belt be driven by a V-groove pulley. It will substantially improve the efficiency of the driving and will prevent the belt from slipping.

guiding round and V belts


We recommend the using of HDPE runners. They will improve the load capacity of your belts, thanks to a very low friction coeficient. For exemple, the friction coefficient on a HDPE runner is twice as low as on a steel runner. The belt would thus bear twice as much weight on a HDPE runner than on a steel runner.

The diameter of the round groove should be 1 to 2 mm greater than the diameter of the belt.

V belts slip on their small base. The V groove of the runner should be 1 mm wider than the belt. This will prevent the V belt from being blocked into its runner.

We recommend that the extremities of the runner be chamfered. This avoids any risk of fits and starts as the belt arrives on its runner. This recommendation is even more important if your belt is cogged.

parallel belts
For belts mounted in parallel, it is strongly recommended that the return pulleys run independently.This compensates for differences in linear speed between the belts, thus avoiding abnormal tension which might cause jerky operation.

welding reinforced belts

Our reinforced belts are welded in the same way as the other non-reinforced belts, WITHOUT REMOVING THE REINFORCEMENT. This avoids all the problems associated with drilling. Our special reinforcement does not fuse at the welding temperature of our thermostated irons (260C). There is therefore no danger of contaminating the weld.

choosing a belt
To choose the right belt, you need to know the characteristics of the conveyor on which it will run, its working conditions and the product it will convey.

round or V belt
Into the selected category, choose the quality of belt whose general caracteristics, such as resistance, hardness, friction coefficient, stretch, operating temperature... are the closest to the ones your are looking for. Exemples : In case of accumulation of the products transported on the belt, choose the quality with the lowest friction coefficient. To convey heavy loads, choose the strongest and less stretchy quality. NB: The stretch of low-hardness belts (85 and 90 shA), such as SOUPLEX, POLY/FLEX and DEL/FLEX, allows you to mount them with pretension (shortened of a length that corresponds to the elongation that the belt would need to work properly), and in some cases to avoid the using of a tensioning system. The mounting of the hardest belts (95 and 100 shA) and/or reinforced belts requires the using of a tensioning system or tensioning tools (page 34).

CONVEYOR WITH RUNNERS

F = M x Cr

Mmax = Ft / Cr

CONVEYOR WITH SUPPORT PULLEYS

In case of accumulation, take into account the friction coefficient of the product to convey on the belt. You will add this data to the friction coefficient of the belt on its runner :

F = M x (Cf + Cfp)
CONVEYOR WITH ACCUMLULATION

Mmax = Ft / (Cf + Cfp)

If your conveyor is inclined, consider the difference in height :

F = M x Cf + M x (H / L)

UPWARD CONVEYOR

Mmax = Ft / (Cf + H / L)

F = M x Cf - M x (H / L)

DOWNWARD CONVEYOR

Mmax = Ft / (Cf - H / L)

Always take into account the weight of all the tangentially driven rollers in your calculations.

F = (M + Mr) x Cr
CONVEYOR WITH TANGENTIALLY DRIVEN ROLLERS

Mmax = (Ft / Cr) - Mr


As you calculate Mmax, only take into account half the traction force of the selected belt. Replace by Remplacer Ft par Ft/2

For all type of conveyors, in case of

The traction force F determined above must be multiplicated by 2.

SOLUTIONS
Both selected belts could easily convey this load of 100 kgs. Nevertheless, the H16 17 x 11 mm V belt requires much bigger pulleys than the 90 mm of the described conveyor. On the other hand, the reinforced and cogged 17 x 11 mm SOUPLEX can bend around pulleys down to 85 mm diameter. The most apropriate belt for this application is our reinforced and cogged 17x11mm SOUPLEX, mounted with 1% pretension. 43
