How to Specify
the Correct Flexco®
Rivet Hinged Fastener
Fastener Metal
Selection Hinge Pin Selection
1. Determine Belt Tension (PIW).
2. Measure your Belt Thickness.
3. Measure the Diameter of the
Smallest Pulley in your Drive with
Belt Wrap more than 90°.
4. Choose the fastener size that is
appropriate for your specifications
in the selection chart below.
Steel. For most applications, plated
steel is recommended.
Stainless Steel. Type 316 Stainless
Steel provides extra resistance to
abrasion, magnetic attraction and
corrosion from acids and chemicals.
RustAlloy®. Resists corrosion due to
mine water or other chemical attack.
MegAlloy®. For superior resistance to
wear and abrasion.
AC Bare Armored Cable - for
extendable conveyors.
ACS Bare Armored Stainless Cable -
for extendable conveyors.
NAC Nylon Covered Armored Cable -
right for many applications, long
service life.
NC Nylon Covered Steel Cable -
for use with steel fasteners, flat or
troughed belts.
NCS Nylon Covered Stainless Steel
Cable - for applications with
stainless fasteners, flat or troughed
belts.
SC Bare Steel Cable - for conveying
gritty or abrasive material.
SSC Bare Stainless Steel Cable -
for corrosion resistance, flat belts.

Fasteners Work
Designed for synthetic
carcass belting as well as
other styles of belt, Flexco®
SR™ (Self-Setting Rivet)
Fasteners utilize multiple rivet attachment. This provides
maximum resistance to pull-out and allows the patented
rivets to work between the carcass fibers without severing
them, leaving the entire belt carcass intact. It does not rely
solely upon the carcass material to resist pull-out.
Because the rivets are self-setting, fasteners are installed
quickly from the top side of the belt. Rivets are driven
through the fastener plates and through the belt, passing
between the carcass fibers. The specially-shaped head
of each pilot nail works in conjunction with the applicator
tool’s anvil plate to set the rivets.
The same hammer blows that set the rivets also compress
the fastener plates into the belt cover. The broad width and
heavy gauge of the plates give extended wear life. These
plates compress uniformly and are specially coined so
there are no high spots or edges to hang up.
