Drive conditions and service variables in combination with time in
operation can result in a loss of static conductivity. It is recommended
that a conductivity check be added to drive preventive maintenance
programs where belt static conductivity is a requirement.
Specialty compounded materials give this
belt superior advantages
The ability to operate continuously in temperatures up to 2100F
(98.90
C) and withstand peak temperatures as high as 3000F
(148.90
C), along with being static conductive, help Falcon Pd®
perform in special applications, providing longer life and higher
output to meet your needs.
Lower maintenance costs reduce the pain
Falcon Pd® synchronous belts do not require lubrication often
found in chain drive applications. High-modulus cord members
minimize the need for retensioning normally required in
standard V-belts, reducing your overall maintenance cost.
Quiet operation
Falcon Pd® runs quieter, up to 6dB in operation for a better
environment while offering advanced flex-fatigue resistance to
help extend belt life.
Applications
Any application where a chain drive could be used.
Can also be used with a backside idler when needed, allowing
for additional applications.
Suitable for high horsepower, low torque drives.
Key features & benefits
Increased horsepower rating up to 36%
Increased continuous operating temperature up to 2100F
(98.90
