Dual Drive Double Sided (Hexagonal) V belts

Steigentech double sided V belts are specially designed to give alternate flexibility in the drive whist offering rigidity in the section which makes this type of belt ideal for opposite directional drives such as Lawn & Garden and Agricultural machinery.

With multiple working surfaces our double sided V- Belt range offers a solution to many applications where pulleys are rotating in different directions. The Steigentech Double sided V-Belt uses a special polyester tensile cord that ensures low stretch and high flexibility, a fibre loaded base compound designed to transmit power both on the top and bottom of the belt and our high abrasion resistant wrapping cover will also provide the perfect grip and power transmission.

The Steigentech Double Sided V – Belt range consists of;

AA section 13mm x 10mm, BB section 17mm x 13mm, CC section 22mm x 17mm

With a temperature range from -40C to + 70C, antistatic properties, great resistance to external aggressions and meeting RoHS, REACH & ISO requirements this V-Belt range gives performance and quality.

Standard lengths ; AA section from 38” to 196” BB section from 39” to 300” CC section from 75” to 420” Other sizes are possible.

Chain Drives - What to Consider

 

One of the main advantages of a chain drive is its ability to perform well under varying conditions. Despite this ability there are a number of rules for good design practice which if considered early in the design process will ensure the correct chain is selected and maxim results are achieved.

Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength: this is the static load required to break the chain. Load or tension applied to the chain in service should never exceed 1/6^th of the chains Ultimate Tensile Strength. A roller chain should NEVER be loaded above 50% of its MUTS for even 1 cycle as doing so will permanently damage the chain.

Allowable Working Load: Roller chain with equal tensile strengths can have very different working load capacities, there is no constant relationship between a roller chains working capacity and its ultimate tensile strength. Certain chain manufacturers with a higher tensile strength could have a lower working load capacity.

Selecting Chain Sizes: There could be several suitable chains for any particular application, Loads, Speeds, Environment, Required service life; Costs will determine the final selection. Generally the lower cost drive will be powered by a single strand chain of the smallest pitch available to take the load required. The speed and number of teeth on the drive sprocket will also effect the selection of the chain size that is required.

As a general rule the smaller the pitch of chain the higher the operating speeds.

Steigentech Double-Sided Timing Belt

Steigentech Double-Sided Timing Belt

Application

Our Double-Sided Curvilinear Timing belts will allow serpentine drive design where the back of the belt is driving pulleys either way placed on the outside or inside.
Those belts are well suited for contra-rotating drives (such as Lawn & Garden Machinery) thanks to their double symmetrical or overlapping opposite teeth.
The Steigentech Double – Sided Timing Belt will allow high load-carrying power and smooth running operation.

Structure

Our strong glass fiber tensile cords, both S and Z orientated will ensure perfect belt tracking; keep dimensional stability and flexibility with no elongation.
From both sides equal power is transmitted thanks to our perfect combination of best chloroprene and fiber grade materials, our rubber teeth compound offers tooth pitch matching and high wear resistance as well as vibration resistance.
On both sides of the teeth our special polyamide cover fabric will provide minimal friction, our cover fabric will allow perfect positive engagement with pulleys while ensuring wear and abrasion resistance.

Properties
• We can produce our double-sided timing belts in 2 arrangements: symmetrical or   overlapping, please consult us
• Temperature range from -30°C up to +80°C
• Moderate resistance to common oils, good resistance to heat and cold environment
• Low noise, high speed ratio, high belt speed
• Meets RoHS and REACH requirements
• Includes: D3M, D5M, D8M, D14M and DS5M, DS8M, DS14M

Measuring Your V Belt

V Belts cannot be measured by folding them in half or measuring what’s left of a snapped belt, the most accurate way to measure a V belt is with a belt length gauge a tool used by most belt stockists.
However the likely hood is that when your belt fails this type of gauge will not be in your tool box the best thing to use is a simple cloth tape measure – do not use a steel tape measure.
If neither the length gauge nor cloth tape are to hand another option is to wrap string around the belt, then measure the string length.

Depending on the type of belt the most common method of belt length measurements are;

LA/LO = Length around/Length outside – where the outside length of a belt is measured with a cloth tape measure.

LI = Length Inside: The inside length is again measured with a cloth tape measure, or sometimes a piece of string. 

LP = Length Pitch; Belt pitch length is normally the length at the belt pitch line. This line is generally located at the neutral axis near the cord line and varies with cross section and V Belt construction. 

From a Hoover to a Tractor

Poly V or Ribbed belts can be used for a multitude of applications…vacuum cleaners, fitness bikes, concrete mixers, Agricultural machinery, fans to name but a few.

The application advantages of Poly V belts;

• A reduced belt thickness - allowing the use of smaller diameter pulleys.
• Lighter and more compact drives are acheivable.
• Centre distances are reduced.
• Space can be saved without pokwer loss.
• Smooth Running.
• No belt turnover.

As well as the standard production range of H/PH J/PJ K/PK the Steigentech Poly V belt range is also available with special backing, EPDM construction and aramid cord.
