What are the special properties of the ribbed belt in terms of heat resistance, oil resistance, and wear resistance?

Firstly, the heat resistance of the ribbed belt originates from its special material formulation and structural design, allowing it to maintain excellent performance even in high-temperature environments. In high-temperature working conditions, many traditional belt materials may soften, deform, or even fail due to the heat, resulting in decreased performance or complete system failure. However, the ribbed belt, with its outstanding heat resistance, can maintain its original physical and chemical properties such as strength, hardness, and elasticity in extremely high temperatures. This heat resistance is achieved not only through the excellent characteristics of the ribbed belt material but also through its unique manufacturing process. Precise process control allows for the optimization of the internal structure and material distribution of the ribbed belt, further enhancing its heat resistance. In practical applications, the heat resistance of the ribbed belt enables it to work continuously and steadily in various high-temperature conditions. Whether it's outdoor conveyance equipment operating in sweltering heat or industrial equipment efficiently transmitting power in high-temperature environments, the ribbed belt can provide reliable support. Moreover, due to its stable performance even at high temperatures, it can improve the operating efficiency of the transmission system, supporting the overall stability of the system.
The ribbed belt exhibits excellent oil resistance. In transmission systems, lubricating oil is essential to ensure smooth operation between pulleys and belts. However, prolonged contact with oil substances may cause the performance of many traditional belts to deteriorate or fail. In contrast, the ribbed belt, with its unique material formulation and processing, possesses excellent oil resistance. This oil resistance primarily stems from the careful selection of materials used in the ribbed belt. The materials used in manufacturing the ribbed belt are carefully chosen for their excellent resistance to oil corrosion, maintaining their original physical and chemical properties even with prolonged exposure to lubricating oil. These materials not only effectively resist the corrosion of oil substances but also prevent grease from penetrating into the belt body, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the ribbed belt in lubricated transmission systems. Additionally, the oil resistance of the ribbed belt is supported by the manufacturing process. During production, the ribbed belt undergoes rigorous quality control and special treatments to ensure the stability of its oil resistance. These special treatments include surface coatings and internal structure optimization, further enhancing the oil resistance of the ribbed belt.
Lastly, the ribbed belt exhibits outstanding wear resistance. Friction between the belt and pulleys is an inevitable physical phenomenon during transmission, which can lead to belt surface wear, affecting its service life and transmission efficiency. However, the ribbed belt overcomes this challenge by adopting advanced materials and structural design, demonstrating excellent wear resistance. The materials used in the ribbed belt are high-strength, highly wear-resistant synthetic materials, which maintain stable performance even under prolonged friction. Additionally, these materials possess good fatigue and aging resistance, enabling long-term stable operation in various harsh environments. Furthermore, the structural design of the ribbed belt also influences its wear resistance. Through precise calculation and simulation analysis, designers have developed reasonable tooth profiles and pitches for the ribbed belt, ensuring even distribution of contact area between the belt and pulleys during transmission, reducing friction pressure per unit area. Moreover, the tooth profile design of the ribbed belt effectively reduces vibration and noise during high-speed operation, further enhancing its wear resistance.
In summary, the ribbed belt demonstrates significant advantages in heat resistance, oil resistance, and wear resistance. These special properties make the ribbed belt widely used in various transmission systems, especially in applications requiring high temperature, lubrication, and wear resistance.

  • Rubber Wide - Angle Belt
    Rubber Wide - Angle Belt
    The wide-angle belt is a new type of industrial transmission belt developed on the basis of the general industrial V-belt technology.
    They are all driven by the friction diagram on both sides of the belt. The wedge angle of the general V-belt is 40° and the wedge angle
    of the wide-angle transmission belt is 60°.
    According to the principle of transmission dynamics, as the wedge angle of the wide-angle belt increases, the area supported by the
    two transmission sides naturally increases, thus giving rise to the following advantages over the general V-belt:
    1. The load of the wide-angle belt is evenly distributed and the wear resistance is improved.
    2. The contact area between the belt and the pulley increases and the transmission force is increased.
    3. It improves the concave deformation of the drive belt core and strengthens the drive characteristics.
    4. After the wide-angle belt is installed and used, the problem of belt tension drop is improved.
    It is the above-mentioned advantages of the wide-angle belt that are widely used and affirmed by the precision machinery industry.
