Veyance manufactures several different designs. Some are
available as open-end constructions and some are available in
dual-sided constructions.
Positive Drive Pd
®
is our trademark line of trapezoidal tooth
profile synchronous belts. These belts were the first profile types
developed in the continual evolution of synchronous drive belts.
This Positive Drive product line includes a stock selection of MXL,
XL, L, H, XH, XXH, and Metric T pitches. Trapezoidal belts make
an excellent means for transmitting power; however, time and
technological advances have led to the more advanced product lines
mentioned below.
Super Torque Pd
®
represents the next evolution in synchronous
drive belt development in the Goodyear Engineered Products
line. The Super Torque Pd belt has a unique modified round
tooth design that minimizes tooth shear and operates quieter than
traditional trapezoidal tooth profiles. Super Torque tooth pitches
include S3M, S4.5M, S5M, S8M, and S14M and are available as
special manufactured parts with minimal runs.
Eagle NRG
™
Belts and Sprockets are a unique technological
breakthrough. A patented H.O.T. (Helical Offset Tooth) design
provides for continuous rolling tooth engagement, allowing the
Eagle NRG System to run quieter with less vibration than any other
synchronous belt available today. With specialized materials, Eagle
NRG offers a much higher horsepower and temperature rating
than its predecessor, Eagle Pd
®
. The use of a flangeless sprocket also
ensures more compact, lighter drives with precision performance.
Eagle NRG Belts and Sprockets come in a wide variety of stock sizes
with custom manufactured sizes being available for specialty drive
requirements.
Falcon HTC
®
is a synchronous belt designed to handle increased
horsepower, low torque applications. Falcon HTC belts feature a
high-grade rubber compound. This blended compound handles
temperatures much higher than common polyurethane belts
used in similar applications. Also, it is formulated to resist tooth
deformity and increase tooth rigidity, extending belt life and
saving you money. Falcon HTC belts also feature a patented
cord treatment which provides excellent dimensional stability
and high-impact strength. Falcon HTC belts can also be used in
applications requiring backside idlers, allowing for greater flexibility
in various applications. For ease of ordering, the Falcon HTC part
number interchanges with the Gates counterpart belt, making
replacement easy.
Hawk Pd
®
, with its strength and unique construction using
our advanced compounding technology, is a line of curvilinear,
synchronous belts that offers universal performance that stands
alone. Designed to fit the majority of high-capacity synchronous
application, Hawk Pd belts fulfill existing drive requirements,
matching industrial standards of belt width and length. With the
Universal Profile Design (UPD) profile, Hawk Pd performs in
the GT and HTD profiles, replacing Gates PowerGrip HTD and
PowerGrip GT 2 belts*. In addition, Hawk Pd replaces Carlisle
RPP and RPP Plus belts*, running in RPP sprockets, as well as TB
Wood’s synchronous QD profile*. The UPD is a simple solution
in satisfying the multitude of belt and sprocket combinations in
the market. Take universal performance to a higher level with
Hawk Pd.
Blackhawk Pd
®
is a high-performance, curvilinear belt that offers
maximum performance in your 8mm and 14mm synchronous
applications. Blackhawk Pd is precisely designed and can replace
existing Carlisle Panther
®
, Browning Panther, and TB Wood’s
QT PowerChain belts, matching competitive offerings of belt
width and length. Dynamic testing of Blackhawk Pd has shown
this durable belt actually lasts 3 to 4 times longer than Carlisle
RPP Panther
®
. Maximize the performance of your timing belt
application with Blackhawk Pd, designed to deliver longer life and
less maintenance. Choose the belt that takes performance to greater
heights—Blackhawk Pd.
Synchronous, or Positive Drive, Belts are a relatively new concept
in power transmission belting evolution. These belts combine
the advantages of chain and gear with the advantages of V-belts,
but without the limitations usually associated with these
conventional types of drives. There is minimal elongation, no
metal-to-metal contact, and no constant lubrication. Synchronous
belts are amazingly versatile with possible applications on drives
up to 600 hp and from speeds under 100 feet per minute to over
6,000 feet per minute.
Positive Drive, or Pd, is the term applied to our synchronous
belts and their method of power transmission. As the name
indicates, Positive Drive belts make possible power transmission
that is efficient and accurate to a precise degree.
Positive Drive Belts also make possible important savings
in weight, space, and construction without the sacrifice of
efficiency. They are adaptable to almost any type of power
transmission drive from printers to heavy industrial milling
machines and grinders.
Engineered and manufactured with extreme care with pitch,
tooth depth, width, and other measurements accurate to a precise
degree, Positive Drive Belts are highly engineered products.
The materials used in these remarkable belts consist of high-
strength tension members, specially compounded rubber, and
proven synthetic fabrics. The belts are designed to eliminate
excessive heat build-up and to operate efficiently.
