Design Properties
• Lower strength & elasticity • Oriented Nylon with 4700 kg/cm2 tensile strength and high modulus of
elasticity can transmit very high loads without stretching
• Low velocity ratios possible • Enables design with short-centered, high ratio drives, with pulley rims almost touching)
• Max. belt velocity of 25 m/s • Higher belt velocity of up to 60 m/s
• High shaft load • Able to smoothly absorb pulsating & shock loads, thereby reducing shaft loads
Installation, Maintenance, Life
• Often tensioned haphazardly i.e. until the • Simpler installation; tensioning to the calculated initial tension by means of simple
individual belts no longer wobble measuring marks to be applied to the belt
• Frequent re-tensioning required • No re-tensioning is required
• Grooved pulley subject to higher wear rate • Pulleys, being ungrooved, do not wear and practically are everlasting
• Typical life – 1 year • Typical life of 2 years or more
