The Alligator
®
V-Belt Fastening System is
designed to grip the ends of a v-belt without
interfering with the sheaves (pulleys) that the
belt passes around.
Staples or nails are driven through the
fastener and belt and folded over. They are
then hammered tight against the bottom plate
of the fastener clinching the belt between
the fastener plates. There is nothing that
protrudes beyond the sides of the belt that
would interfere with the sheaves.
