Torque Team Plus® belts’ tension members are aramid cable cords.
They are twisted from aramid fiber, which is five times stronger
than steel, then are treated for improved adhesion, improved flex
life and increased resistance to shrinkage. Torque Team Plus® belts
exhibit only one-half of the initial elongation of other belts and
maintain greater dimensional stability over the life of the belt. They
stand up to higher horsepower, high-tension drive requirements,
shock loads and abusive installations better than standard joined
belts, multiple V-belt teams or chain and sprocket drives.
The cushion is made of a highly engineered compound that
resists harsh operating environments and compression fatigue.
The envelope is also rubber compound-impregnated to protect
the carcass from abrasion, heat, ozone and oil. Together, these
components offer a strong, flexible and efficient belt with
extended service life.
The advantages of Torque Team
Plus
®
belting
With Torque Team Plus,® there is less cost involved in the drive
design due to the fact that each belt can handle a given load
with a narrower width belt than either multiple V-belt or chain
and sprocket drives. This means that there is less cost incurred
for the drive medium (belts/chains), less cost for the narrower
sheaves and pulleys they use and less cost for the downtime
and labor involved in the retensioning required by both multiple
V-belt and chain belt drives. There is no need for the lubricants
and lubrication system that chain drives need. These are some
very clear advantages, especially when you consider that you get
these savings along with a dramatic performance advantage.
There is also less weight because the smaller sheaves used
for drives using Torque Team Plus® belts are a dramatic 50%
lighter than a sheave required to drive an equal horsepower
multiple V-belt drive. When compared to an equal horsepower
chain drive, the sheave weighs an incredible 65% less than the
sprocket required for the chain drive.
Torque Team Plus® is more compact. In fact, a typical Torque
Team Plus® belt is only one-third the width of an equivalent
multiple V-belt team. It needs 17% less space than an
equivalent chain drive.
And since Torque Team Plus® belts give you all the advantages
of the joined principal (smooth tracking, no belt turnover, no
matching problems, less belt threatening vibration, even and
consistent tensioning), there is less maintenance required.
Premium Torque Team Plus® belts require
adequate sheaves
The high strength of Torque Team Plus® belts provides
exceptional high-torque capabilities and horsepower ratings.
These high belt capacities may exceed standard sheave
capabilities. To assure safety and satisfactory drive operation,
consult your sheave supplier for sheave recommendations.

*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.
