Pyramid Flat Belts |
Flat
belts can be manufactured in any thickness from .030" through
.187" and almost any width
through 1.500". Lengths beginning at 3-3/4" are possible in
many sizes. Longer minimum lengths are sometimes necessary with
thicker cross sections. There are generally no
maximum length
limitations on the Pyrathane® flat
belt.
Thickness
/ Minimum Length
Thickness of .030 - .074" Lengths down to 3.75"
Thickness of .075 - .089" None less than 4.75" in
length
Thickness of .090 - .125" None less than 5.50" in
length
Thickness of .126 - .190" None less than 5.75" in
length
There are generally no maximum length limitations on the PYRATHANE
flat belt.
To achieve good tracking characteristics with flat belts, we
recommend that they be run on a crowned drive pulley. The driven
pulley can be crowned if crowning the driver is not possible.
Generally, flanged pulleys are only suitable with thicker material.
Several methods of achieving a crown can be employed successfully.
See illustration.
Figure 3
Ambient
Operating Temperature Limits Are -10 to +150 F
Pyrathane materials will operate in temperatures below
-10° F.; however, if allowed to rest, they take a set which
is difficult to overcome and may indeed fracture upon start-up.
For applications with an ambient temperature outside of the above range, Pyramid Inc. has other Pyrathane compounds which may be more suitable than those listed here.
We also have available materials that are specifically designed for outdoor use or for environments with ultraviolet light exposure or for applications where static dissipation is desirable.
