BMG’s portfolio of Fenner power transmission components includes a range of high strength friction transmission belts that offers longer service life, higher drive efficiency and reduced downtime compared with conventional V-belts.
Fenner PowerTwist Drive V-belts, which are manufactured from a high strength polyurethane elastomer, reinforced with multiple plies of polyester fabric, offer excellence resistance to abrasion, oils and greases, water and steam, as well as industrial solvents and chemicals.
“These flexible V-belts are the ideal solution for permanent replacement and fitment into inaccessible locations. They can be custom-sized for each sheave groove, reducing wear and providing a perfect matched set of belts when mounted on a drive,” says Carlo Beukes, general manager, power transmission, BMG.
“PowerTwist Drive belts combine extremely high strength with low stretch and have the same power ratings as conventional V-belts. The elasticity of woven polyurethane fabric enables these belts to be stretched over a pulley drive without any damage.
No tools
“Once the required length of belt is determined, the V-belt is simply twisted and the end links are interlocked by hand, without the need for tools.
“An important advantage is that these durable belts operate efficiently at elevated temperatures to 110 °C in harsh environments, for up to 15 times longer than standard rubber and other link V-belts. They are also designed for easy installation as a permanent replacement, with minimal downtime. No dismantling of equipment is necessary.”
For user convenience and inventory reduction, the PowerTwist Drive range is available in different speciality profiles and constructions for efficient power transmission and material handling applications.
Also in Fenner’s range of transmission belts are Fenner Power Plus heavy duty drive belts, which meet stringent international quality specifications, as well as the highest standards for static conductivity (ISO 1813 standards).
High strength
These belts, with an asymmetric weave double jacket for increased durability in harsh conditions, are heat and oil resistant. Their high length stability ensures minimal stretch and elongation.
Important features of these robust belts include high performance, maximum drive efficiency and extended service life. They also offer up to 96% energy efficiency at optimum performance.
Other Fenner products available from BMG include synchronous transmission belts, pulleys and accessories, as well as shaft fixings, chain drives and couplings. BMG also supplies Fenner shaft mounted speed reducers (SMSRs).
