Each advanced mechanism is composed of many smaller, well-coordinated elements. When designing such a structure, individual components are selected so as to be ultimately reliable, quality and effective. One of the details that is widely used in many areas are toothed belts. What should you know about these items? And what are the main benefits of using them? We answer these and other questions in our article.
What should you know about toothed belts?
Toothed belts in combination with properly fitted pulleys form a system called a transmission. The gears, in turn, are used in many larger and smaller industrial machines and devices that require effective and reliable operation.
Toothed belts they differ from each other, among others the shape of the tooth, i.e. its profile, as well as the material from which they are made. They also have various uses and that is why we divide them into:
- toothed belts for drive (mainly chloroprene and polyurethane toothed belts),
- timing belts for power tools, such as grinders and drills,
- toothed belts used in transport (mainly polyurethane toothed belts, which are extremely durable).
Their wide application is primarily due to their excellent properties and the fact that they can be used wherever:
- there are rapid changes in speed,
- efficient power transmission is necessary,
- it is important to accelerate.
What are the most important benefits of using toothed belts?
So as you can see toothed belts thanks to their characteristics and high-quality workmanship are an indispensable element that determines the efficiency of the entire system.
Their use has many benefits, such as:
- excellent noise reduction, especially compared to other, older types of drives,
- efficiency of use and much longer service life (compared to previously used V-belts),
- ability to function efficiently at high speeds,
- resistance to the effects of chemicals, which is of particular importance in the case of industrial activities,
- smooth operation without slippage,
- great resistance to weather conditions,
- high flexibility and no need to use lubricants,
- durability and low price, i.e. two elements reducing the costs associated with the maintenance of the drive,
- ease of use and reliability.
So if you want to take advantage of the advantages of using toothed belts, choose the highest quality products available in our offer.
