FAQ - Plastic & Timing Belt Processing

Belt selection: What should you pay attention to?

At the Selection of a conveyor belt You should consider the following aspects:

Material and coatingDepending on the application, e.g. heat-resistant, food-safe or chemical-resistant.
ResilienceThe conveyor belt must be suitable for the loads to be transported (e.g. food/paper/textile/wood/metal).
Environmental conditionsTemperature, humidity and chemical influences play an important role.
Application-specific requirementsFor example: FDA and EU compliance for the food sector or special coatings for non-slip surfaces. Cleanability (HACCP/PU surfaces) or antistatic properties
Technical aspects: Turning diameter, friction value, energy efficiency (e.g., friction-reducing coatings).

How important is the belt mounting/assembly?

Proper storage and assembly of belts is crucial to ensure optimal performance and a long lifespan for the drive elements. Improper storage or assembly can lead to premature wear, loss of performance, or even failure of the belt.

Important aspects of storage:

Belts should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and chemicals.
They should not be bent or hung over sharp edges to avoid damage.

Important aspects of assembly:

The correct tension of the belt is crucial to avoid slippage or excessive wear.
The pulley wheels must be correctly aligned to ensure uniform load distribution. (Ensure alignment of the pulley wheels/rail guide)
It is important to follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions exactly.
The straps should be stored in a cool/dry place and protected from UV light.

What is a T profile?

One T-profile is a special profile used in mechanical drive technology. It has the shape of a „T“ and is often used in applications where stable and precise guidance or connection is required. T-profiles can be made from various materials such as metal or plastic and are used in areas such as conveyor technology, mechanical engineering, or constructions where a robust and reliable connection is required.

What is an AT10 timing belt?

One AT10 Belts is a gear belt with a specific tooth profile designed for precise power transmission and high load capacity. The „AT“ stands for an enhanced tooth profile that offers higher tensile force and better positioning accuracy compared to standard T-profiles. The number „10“ indicates the division, i.e. the distance between the teeth in millimeters.

These belts are commonly used in industrial applications where precise movement and high durability are required, such as in automation technology, packaging machines, or conveyor systems. They are typically made of high-quality materials such as polyurethane and include tensile reinforcements made of steel or Kevlar to ensure high stability and durability.
