construction shown
Torque-Flex® V-belts are fully cogged to provide the flexibility
needed to keep their high-traction rubber edges in contact with
the sheave grooves. This high efficiency allows you to achieve
the horsepower you need at a lower total drive cost.
Produced with a highly engineered EPDM compound, cut-edge
cogged construction belts operate in a broader temperature
range than ever before (-400F to 2300F/-400C to 1100C).
Torque-Flex® V-belts can handle extremely high temperatures.
Exacting precision and uniformity
Rigid quality assurance programs imposed during Torque-Flex®
V-belt manufacture result in belt angles and belt lengths which
are more exact than standard belts. This results in quiet,
smooth-running and long-lasting belts. Think what that can
save in reduced downtime and belt maintenance.
Of course, with such exacting production requirements, our
Torque-Flex® V-belts also achieve consistent uniformity from
run to run. This outstanding consistency means you can be
sure that two belts of the same size designation will match, no
matter when they were produced. As a result:
›
You eliminate mismatching problems caused by individual
belts that may be too loose or too tight.
›
You simplify ordering procedures – no lengthy specifications,
detailing match-ups and sizing.
›
No complicated time-consuming matching. Your
Continental ContiTech belts are automatically matched when
you buy them.
›
You reduce your in-plant inventory. The Matchmaker®
system covers your needs with a minimum of belts to
save you space and inventory dollars.
More savings from fewer belts
The high-strength and high horsepower capacity of
Torque-Flex® V-belts means you need fewer belts and fewer
sheave grooves to deliver the same amount of horsepower.
Energy-saving efficiency
The same design and construction features which lead to
high horsepower ratings for Torque-Flex® V-belts also lead to
improvements in energy efficiency of up to 4%, depending on
sheave diameter.
Applications
Designed for the tough, small sheave, high-tension drives.
