Belts
Features & Benefits
High Tension Capabilities
Flexsteel® belts handle the most demanding applications. We continue to lead the industry in
designing the strongest belts to meet the growing demand for long overland systems.
Fewer Transfer Points
Flexsteel®’s high-tension capabilities permit extremely long centers, exceptionally high lifts and
multiple horizontal curves. This allows the designer to reduce the number of transfer points to
minimize a major source of maintenance headaches and downtime.
Limited Take-up Travel
Flexsteel® belts elongate a maximum of 0.25% at rated tension. This allows lower cost take-up
systems on many applications and makes Flexsteel® the preferred choice for long overland and
short stacker/reclaiming systems, where minimum elongation is critical.
Life-long Splices
Our proven splicing methods, validated on our Two-Pulley Splice Tester, result in dynamic splice
efficiencies in excess of the 50% rating defined in DIN 22110 Part 3. With proper technique,
splices on Flexsteel® belts should last the life of the belt. And when your belt is expected to last
20 years, that is a long time.

High Impact Resistance
Our advanced cover compounds and our insulation gum’s superior adhesion combine to provide
the impact, tear and abuse resistance your applications demand.
