Application of Polyurethane Timing Belts
Polyurethane timing belts are applicable for utilisation in all industries where the continuous transmission of angular motion is needed. They are so applicable for all kins of power transmission, indexing, positioning, and conveying including Office machinery, Data processing machinery, Food processing machinery & in the Beverage Industry, Textile machinery, Woodworking machinery, and Machine tools.
Advantages of Using Polyurethane Timing Belts
Polyurethane materials show greater resistance to chemicals including several acids and alkalis and offer greater and topmost abrasion resistance as compared to neoprene, making polyurethane belts a better option for usage where particulate contamination is avoided, like clean rooms. The other advantages of using Polyurethane Timing Belts include
Coherent dimensional consistency
Less pre-tension
Less noise
Little required maintenance
Greater flexibility
Greater resistance to oils, fats, and greases
Higher resistance to aging
They have better elasticity as compared to rubber and are rated to varied temperature settings and petrol resistance. Timing belts also tend to possess greater load capacities, along with greater tensile strength.
