There are two different types of timing belt strength and they are independent of each other. They are tooth shear strength and tensile cord strength. To correctly size a belt, both strengths should be higher than the application strength requirements. 1. Tooth Shear Strength Tooth Shear Strength is the force necessary to permanently deform the […]
What causes belt noise and how to reduce it? There are 4 common causes for belt noise. They are by no means the only causes of noise but they are a good starting point. They are: Impact of the belt teeth on the pulleyAir Displacement by the teeth on the pulleyFriction between the belt and […]
BRECOflex provides all of the timing belt drive definitions and formulae for doing many common belt calculations. You can also use our calculations program for linear drive and power transmission applications. Peripheral force FU [N] Specific tooth force FUspec [N/cm] Admissible tensile load Fadm [N] Pre-tension force Fv [N] Shaft force FW [N] Torque M […]
BRECOflex CO., L.L.C. offers three types of timing belt construction, each used for different kinds of applications. Knowing what these three types are and how to identify them is the first step in specifying a belt for a new design or for placing a reorder on a replacement belt
Machine designers specify timing belts in so many industries but timing belts for packaging is an especially large market market. From the belts in the transmissions that power these machines to the belting that moves product, there is need for diverse belt options. Some Packaging Applications that Use Timing Belts CasepackingWrappingCartoningConveying As for timing belt […]
