What is it?
MS
®
is a fastener that utilizes self-
tapping screws for heavy duty belts
that: requires no drilling, no template,
and no hammering. The screws drill
smoothly through the belt, while
maintaining belt integrity (thickness of
9/64’’ to 23/32’’).
The installation of
MS
®
fasteners
requires only a powered drill (battery
or pneumatic).
MS
®
fasteners are
therefore more economical (no
investment in complex tooling) and
safer (there is no risk of injury while
using a hammer).
MS
®
fasteners can be installed
over a wide range of minimum
pulley diameters from 3” to 18’’. It
can be installed on belts which are
mechanically rated up to 800 PIW.
The screws play an additional role by
tightly and strongly clamping the belt
(positive compression).
MS
®
fasteners are available in
galvanized carbon steel or in a non
magnetic stainless steel.
MS
®
in
stainless steel allows the joining of
food industry belts, belts with magnet
separators, or harsh conditions. The
connecting pin (diameter 5/32’’ to 3/8’’)
is made of nylon covered galvanized
steel or of nylon non magnetic
stainless steel.
All types of belts can be repaired
immediately and in emergency
situations.
