Abstract:
An endless power transmission belt (10) having a internal lubricating agent- containing fabric element extending along at least the pulley-engaging, power- transmitting surface (24) of the belt, as well as processes for manufacturing same. More particularly, an endless toothed belt having a wear- resistant fabric cover element that comprises at least one internal lubricating agent in the form of one or more clusters (36) within at least a portion of the total thickness of the fabric element.
Abstract:
The canvas of the present invention for forming a rough surface of toothed belt is formed from warp yarns which are formed from composite yarns each comprising a core yarn comprising, as a principal component, half-drawn synthetic fiber yarns having an elongation at break of 50 to 200% and a covering yarn wound around the core yarn, comprising, as a principal component, high mechanical strength, high treat resistant fibers and preferably twisted at a twist number of 300 to 4000 turns/m, and weft yarns; and has a capability of being easily produced by meaning, uniform appearance and yarn distribution and excellent abrasion resistance.
Abstract:
A power transmission belt (10) with a good balance of high temperature resistance, good belt durability and low temperature crack resistance. The main belt body portion of the power transmission belt is manufactured from an elastomeric material comprising 100 parts by weight of an at least partially hydrogenated nitrile group-containing copolymer rubber, and from about 0.5 to about 50 parts per hundred weight of said rubber of a fiber reinforcement having a length to diameter ratio of greater than 10:1. The nitrile group-containing copolymer rubber preferably comprises (1) from about 5 to about 40 percent of unsaturated nitrile monomer units, (2) from about 1 to about 80 percent of units of at least one second monomer selected from the group consisting of fluorine-free unsaturated carboxylic acid ester monomer units and fluorine-containing vinyl monomer units, or any monomer possessing the characteristic of lowering the glass transition temperature of the rubber; (3) up to about 20 percent of conjugated diene monomer units and (4) the balance being hydrogenated conjugated diene monomer units, preferably wherein the sum of the contents of the monomer units (1) and (2) is from about 30 to 90 percent by weight and the sum of the contents of the monomer units (3) and (4) is from about 10 to about 70 percent by weight. The use of the fiber reinforcement in the nitrile group-containing, highly saturated copolymer rubber provides substantially improved low temperature crack resistance while improving the high temperature resistance of the belt.
Abstract:
Noise and vibration of a helically toothed-belt transmission device driven in a high-load or high-speed condition are reduced. A backlash (D) is set large in a helically toothed-belt transmission device that transmits drive force by meshing between a helically toothed belt and a helically toothed pulley. That is, a tooth helix angle (theta) is set in a range of -0.2
Abstract:
A power transmission belt (10, 30) has a compression section (16, 36), a tension section (12, 32), and a load carrying section (14, 34). The load carrying section (14, 34) has a plurality of reinforcing cords (22, 42). The reinforcing cords (22, 42) are formed from poly (p-phenylene-2, 6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO). In each reinforcing cord (22, 42), the cords have a yam twist greater than the cord twist, and the cord twist is in the range of one-fourth to one-half of a ply twist.
Abstract:
A power transmission belt having a body (10) with a length, an inside, and an outside. The body has a plurality of teeth formed on the inside (16) of the body and spaced along the length of the body (10). The body (10) has a first surface (26) at the inside (16) of the body (10) defined at least in part by the teeth. A cloth component (30) has a first side attached to the first surface (26) and a second side exposed to engage a cooperating pulley. The cloth component (30) has first fibers at the first side of the cloth component with a first performance characteristic and second fibers at the second side of the cloth component with a second performance characteristic. The first side of the cloth component has different properties than the second side of the cloth component by reason of the presence of the first and second fibers.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an HNBR-based toothed rubber belt (10) with a glass cord reinforcement (5). Said toothed belt (10) comprises a modified tooth support (6) made of polyamide 6.6 fabric in which the weft threads (64) are entirely or partly replaced in the peripheral/longitudinal direction of the belt by yarns made of polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyimide (PI), and/or meta-aramid or modified with the aid of PEEK, PI, and/or meta-aramid.
Abstract:
A belt having a body (10), a tensile member (20) and an outer surface. The body comprises an elastomer. An outer surface of the belt having a profile, foe example teeth (15). A layer (30) of Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene thermoplastic (UHMWPE) is bonded to the profile surface. The layer bonded to the profile surface having a low softening point allowing it to conform to a mold shape prior to cure of the rubber body material. The layer having a molecular weight in the range of 3-7 million grams per mole. The layer causes the belt to exhibit superior abrasion resistance and flexibility while reducing the cost per belt as compared to fabric jacket belts. The UHMWPE jacket belt has significantly reduced dust and debris production during operation.
