Joining methods for belts
In the industrial sector, timing belts are a essential component for the efficient transport of materials. The joining of these belts is key to ensure operational continuity and minimize downtime.
The three most prominent joining methods are: Pin-Joint, Fasteners, and Endless.
PIN-JOINT
The Pin-Joint is a method that enables quick and easy belt connection by using a pin inserted into the pre-drilled ends of the belt. This type of splice is ideal for applications requiring frequent assembly and disassembly.
FEATURES
- Quick installation and removal.
- Requires prior belt preparation with precise perforations.
- Provides a solid connection.
ADVANTAGES
- Easy maintenance and pin replacement.
- Does not require complex tools.
- Ideal for environments where quick belt changes are needed.
APPLICATIONS
- Sorting and packaging systems.
- Modular conveyors.
- Food and pharmaceutical industries where quick disassembly for cleaning is crucial.
HOOKS
This joining system is a mechanical method that uses metal hooks to join the ends of a belt. It is one of the most common methods due to its simplicity and effectiveness under various conditions.
FEATURES
- Quick and easy installation.
- Use of metal hooks that provide a robust connection.
- Applicable to belts made of various materials.
ADVANTAGES
- Strength and durability under demanding working conditions.
- Easy to install without the need for specialized equipment.
- Suitable for emergency repairs.
APPLICATIONS
- Mining and construction.
- Agriculture.
- Food processing.
WELDED
The welding system allows for a continuous and permanent connection of belts without the need for mechanical splices. This method is ideal for applications requiring a strong and durable connection.
FEATURES
- Continuous connection in the belt without interruptions.
- Does not require perforations or additional components.
- Increases strength by eliminating stress points.
ADVANTAGES
- Greater durability due to the absence of mechanical joints.
- Ideal for applications requiring continuous transmission.
APPLICATIONS
- High-load conveyors in heavy industries.
- Equipment where constant transmission is essential.
- Sectors such as automotive or textile, minimizing the risk of breakdowns.
