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.
Belt materials that last longer
Blackhawk Pd® belts feature a patented high-grade rubber
compound. This cross-linked elastomer is formulated to resist
tooth deformity and increase tooth rigidity, increasing belt life
and decreasing replacement costs.
Blackhawk Pd®’s aramid tensile members provide excellent
dimensional stability and high impact strength. Blackhawk Pd®
requires virtually no retensioning and minimum maintenance.
The demands of synchronous drives put additional strain on
the belt and tooth surface for high-speed and low-speed
applications. The Blackhawk Pd® tooth profile resists ratcheting
and provides accurate positioning for synchronous
drive applications.
High-capacity performance
Blackhawk Pd® synchronous belts are designed for
high-capacity performance, exceeding the traditional speed
limitations of chain and performance limitations of belt drives.
Blackhawk Pd® belts are able to perform in drives ranging from
fractional horsepower to 400 horsepower. The new material
technology delivers a higher horsepower rating.
Lower maintenance costs
Unlike chain drives, Blackhawk Pd® belts and matching
sprockets do not require lubrication. There is virtually no need
for retensioning like there is for V-belt and chain drives. Install
Blackhawk Pd® and watch your maintenance costs drop to
practically nothing.
