The benefits of Acculinear®
synchonous belts
Acculinear® combines the advantages of polyurethane with the
unique Helical Offset Tooth (H.O.T.) geometry for a low-main-
tenance belt that resists wear. Polyurethane belts resist flaking,
offer high resistance to oils, fats and greases and are more
abrasion-resistant than rubber products.
Self-tracking sprocket
The key to success lies in the system’s patented H.O.T. geometry.
With this self-tracking configuration, the sprocket’s left and right
helixes guide the thermoplastic polyurethane belt to the center
of the Acculinear® sprocket. And there it remains: no waste,
no wander, just improved efficiency and wear resistance in a
compact design. The H.O.T. geometry eliminates belt wander and
the need for flanges. As a result, Acculinear® sprockets can be
used on slider bed applications where flanges would normally
protrude above the bed surface.
Low vibration
Acculinear® and the H.O.T. design minimize belt vibration on flat
pulleys used on the entry and exit of slider beds. The belt moves
progressively over straight edges, reducing noise and vibration.
The tooth geometry eliminates the chordal effect that occurs
around the tooth sprocket and reduces drive vibration.
H.O.T. geometry delivers quieter drive
This innovative polyurethane belt and sprocket system uses
our proprietary technology to deliver noise levels far below
the industry standard. The unique design of Acculinear® belts
and sprockets is the reason for the system’s superior noise
reduction. The self-tracking belt is guided to the center of the
sprocket – delivery that smooths out tooth engagement unlike
any other tooth geometry.
Belt constructions engineered
for excellence
The tooth and backing material are made of thermoplastic
polyurethane, which provides superior wear and abrasion
resistance. It is an ideal choice in applications where cleanliness
is critical. The precise manufacturing process, coupled with the
polyurethane belt material, ensures a reliable and dimensionally
stable product.
The tension members are high tensile steel and offer
excellent dimensional stability for accurate positioning and
less maintenance.
The tooth facing offers reduced coefficient of friction with the
sprocket and also provides wear and abrasion protection.
