Flat belts

A flat belt, also called a drive belt, is a transmission belt used for power transmission and power transmission. A special feature of a flat belt is its uniform and elastic surface, which, without elevations or thickness differences, guarantees that the belt has no weaknesses. The surface also ensures quiet operation, as it absorbs vibrations and noise. Flat belts allow very high speeds and are used, for example, by the textile, metal and wood industries as well as in roller conveyor and transport systems. Flat belts can transmit up to 97% tensile strength and guarantee a stable and high power transmission, as a flat belt can transmit power from both sides of the belt. We recommend our customers to choose a flat belt if they are looking for an efficient and reliable belt with minimal maintenance and an associated long service life.

Flat belts are made of durable rubber or plastic, with a reinforcement of either nylon, kevlar, steel or polyester. We sell a wide range of open and integral flat belts. Flat belts can be equipped with a surface coating of your choice, so that the belt is targeted at specific industries and transport purposes. We offer the surface coating in rubber, PVC, PU or foam, which can be applied to one or both sides of the belt. By coating a flat belt, you can adapt and target the belt for specific handling purposes and add properties to the belt in the form of e.g. high/low friction, hardness etc. Flat belts are available in lengths from 180–, 4,800 mm (rubber) and from 200 – 5,400 mm (plastic). Flat belts are sold in different thicknesses, ensuring different tensile strengths. The thicker the flat belt, the larger a pulley will need to be used in the belt drive.
