Timing Belt Pulley Materials - Things to Consider

Hello Everyone .....!!! Choosing the right construction material for a timing belt pulley can have dramatic repercussions. When designing a pulley you want a product that is reliable, has a long operation life, and is cost effective. Often, to achieve the desired results, that means there are two options for construction Material: Plastic or Metal. Nylon Vs. Aluminum Nylon: .Lightweight .Inertia control .Energy saving .Chemical resistance .Material cost savings .No coating to avoid oxidation Aluminum: .Lightweight (heavier than nylon) .Durable .Resistance to heat .High tensile strength When is Aluminum Preferable? One of the main reasons for choosing aluminum as a material is its high tensile strength, making it ideal is high horsepower drive systems. Nylon, however, has a lower tensile strength than aluminum or steel but it is still sufficient for low horsepower drive systems. One of the other most common reasons for turning to aluminum over nylon is its tem...
Hello Everyone ....!!!! Today we back with a very general & common topic ''Causes of failure of  Rollers & Idlers''. Why Do Rollers Fail? • Bearing Contamination o Roller Sealing Systems • ShellWear / Abrasion o Misalignment • Bearing Load o Shaft & Tube Deflection • Rollers Jamming o Material Spillage • Impact Zones o Spillage at Transfer Points • Wash‐down Areas o Constant Moisture • Fine Particulate Contaminants Some of the Conditions that affect Idler Life: • Type of Material Handled (dry, wet, abrasive, etc.) • Idler Load • Effect of Load on Predicted Bearing Life • Belt Speed • Roll Diameter • Environmental, Maintenance & Special Conditions

Timing Belt Selection Guide

Hello Everyone....!!! First we will talk about Tooth Pitch Comparison, later on Belt Selection Guide. Tooth Pitch Comparison Imperial Pitch Belts - XL, L, H, XH This classic trapezoidal pitch is the original timing belt tooth design. This tooth pitch is commonly used for conveying applications. The tooth profile is fairly low and has a large surface area at the tip of the tooth providing good support on sliding conveyor surfaces. T Pitch Belts - T2.5, T5, T10, T20 These metric trapezoidal pitches are similar to imperial pitches, also commonly used for conveying applications, yet have a slightly deeper tooth engagement than imperial profiles. The tooth meshing is more reliable. However, backlash can be slightly greater. AT Pitch Belts - AT5, AT10, AT20 This pitch was developed to enable higher load carrying capacity combined with low backlash. The stronger and stiffer tooth makes these belts ideal for linear positioning and motion control, but may require larger pulley ...

Antistatic SYNCHROFLEX® Timing Belts

Hello Everyone ....!!! Today we will proceed with our past article of PU Timing Belts. In today article we will talk about the antistatic properties & Area of Application /use of SYNCHROFLEX® Timing Belts. The Construction: SYNCHROFLEX® Timing Belts consist of two components, a polyurethane and a high grade steel cord tension member. The excellent bond between the two materials results in high power transmission capacity. The antistatic properties of SYNCHROFLEX® Timing Belts are achieved by: 1. Antistatic coating Post-process application of an electrically conductive coat on all sides of the belts with and wihtout textile facing. 2. Antistatic PU-Mixture A special conductive polyurethane mixture. SYNCHROFLEX® Timing Belts antistatic Application / Use Antistatic SYNCHROFLEX® Timing Belts find their application where electrostatic charges are not desired or inadmissible, e.g. for the transport of electronic components, drives and/or conveying equipment in an...

Before I start you must know the bakery production plant layout.  PLANT LAYOUT:- 1. 70% Production Hall 2. 10%  Raw Material Storage 3. 10% Finish Good Storage 4. 5% Dispacth Area 5. 5% Administrator Office There could be different Production Lines. 1. Muffins Production Line  2. Bun Production Line 3. Bread Production Line 4. Cream Roll Production Line & many more... Production Process of  Bakery Products:- 1.  Mixing of  Ingredients 2. Manufacturing a. Dough Loader/ Dough Hopper  It's processing setup varies industry to industry. If belting option is available then go ahead with AG DERCO FOOD GRADE BELTS. b. Dough Divider/ Dough Extruder From here our work strategy starts. Here We can suggest our food grade PVC/ PU AG Derco / Volta Belts. Colour variation also available. c. Dough Sheeter Here we go for AG Derco/ Vo...
Good Morning.....!!! Today we are back with   Basic factors effecting Chain/ Belt Lifetime. In the design stage it is helpful to consider some of the basic factors that have an effect on belt/chain lifetime and know how they can be used to increase the overall lifetime of the belt or chain. The chart below gives a general indication of some of the more important parameters and their general effect on overall belt life. Shorter Lifetime                                                                                                                                                          ...
