    摘要: Belt systems, such as toothed systems, having a belt and a wheel (e.g., a pulley, gear, sprocket, etc.) that have the fit of the wheel optimized for the fit of the belt, and vice versa. The systems utilize combined techniques and materials to create a belt and wheel interface that improves and even maximizes performance by increasing the efficient transfer of power between belt and wheel, and by distributing the forces across multiple teeth of the wheel. A coating on the wheel can be used to modify the pitch of the wheel.

    摘要: A tensioner adjuster includes a plate portion with an opening for receiving a fastener during installation of a tensioner. The tensioner adjuster further includes a first curved neck portion extending from the plate portion and a first guide portion extending from the first curved neck portion with a fastener engaging member to engage the fastener. The tensioner adjuster further includes a second curved neck portion extending from the plate portion on a side of the plate portion opposite from the side of the plate portion from which the first curved neck portion extends and a second guide portion extending from the second curved neck portion with a fastener engaging member to engage the fastener.

    摘要: A clamp for open ended flat belts. The clamp has a tapered housing with an aperture at a first end providing access to the housing interior and a second open end also providing access to the interior. A tapered wedge is removable and replaceable from the interior of the housing, the wedge having a first end and a radiused second end and having a surface comprising alternating ribs and lands. The clamp includes a lock having a concave surface similar to the radiused second end of the tapered wedge. The housing may have a removeable and replaceable side wall providing access to the interior.
