Jackson plate belt fasteners
for elevator belts
Tapco Jackson Fasteners are a simple method of splicing elevator belts that avoid the pre-engineered failure points of
other splices. The Jackson Fastener is composed of a metal plate embossed with two concaved depressions. The op-
posite ends of the belt are cupped into pockets and are held there by the force of a special countersunk bolt head, and a
large heavy fanged washer; thereby distributing pressure over a larger area of belt.
While stress and gravity tend to pull the ends apart, they are counterbalanced by the force of compression into the fas-
tener. The Jackson plate is curved in relation to the size of the belt and diameter of the pulley with which it must work, so
that no thumbnailing or destruction of the belt fbers occurs. The long collar nut on the special bolt recesses into the belt
insuring a locking action.
The advantages of using Jackson plate belt fasteners are: Strength and integrity of splice, no unbalanced belt section,
smooth running over pulley, comparative low cost. Easy installation requiring no special tools, and allowing even, close
spacing of buckets, and eliminating the need for “splice cups”.
When it becomes necessary to take-up, or shorten the belt, only one end of the belt splice needs to be removed, cut to
length for proper tension and reinstall. The Jackson splice can be supplied for any belt width with the proper number of
plate fasteners and template.
