Construction Features
The tooth design substantially improves stress distribution and allows
extra high loading. The molded teeth enter and leave the sprocket grooves
smoothly with negligible friction—functioning in much the same way as
teeth on a gear.
Construction consists of these components:
Fiberglass Tensile Member — Provides high strength, excellent
flex life and high resistance to elongation.
Neoprene® Backing — Strong Neoprene bonded to the tensile
member for protection against grime, oil and moisture. It also
protects from frictional wear if idlers are used on the back of the
belt.
Neoprene Teeth — Shear-resistant Neoprene compound is
molded integrally with the Neoprene backing. They are precisely
formed and accurately spaced to assure smooth meshing with
the sprocket grooves.
Nylon Facing — Tough nylon fabric with a low coefficient of
friction covers the wearing surfaces of the belt. It protects the
tooth surfaces and provides a durable wearing surface for long
service.
