Drive belt fabric is widely used in various mechanical equipment to achieve functions such as power transmission and material transportation. With the advancement of technology and industrial development, the types of transmission belt fabrics are becoming increasingly diverse. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the main types of transmission belt fabrics to help readers better understand and apply them.

1、 Rubber drive belt

Rubber transmission belt is the most common type of transmission belt fabric, which is mainly made of rubber and processed through vulcanization and other processes. According to different structures and uses, rubber drive belts can be divided into the following types:

1.1 Flat transmission belt

Flat transmission belt, also known as flat belt, is the most widely used type of rubber transmission belt. It has a simple structure, convenient installation, and is suitable for medium and small power transmission. Flat transmission belts can be further subdivided into different specifications such as light, medium, and heavy according to their thickness and material.

1.2 Triangle belt

The V-belt is named after its triangular cross-section, which has high transmission efficiency and a long service life. Triangle belts are commonly used in high-power and high-speed transmission systems, such as generator sets, air compressors, etc.

1.3 Special rubber tape

In addition to flat and triangular belts, there are also some special purpose rubber transmission belts, such as high-temperature resistant belts, oil resistant belts, acid and alkali resistant belts, etc. These drive belts have excellent performance in special environments and can meet the requirements of specific working conditions.

2、 Canvas drive belt

Canvas transmission belt is a transmission belt made mainly of canvas material, which has high tensile strength and wear resistance. Canvas transmission belts are commonly used in large equipment and heavy-duty transmission systems, such as mining machinery, cement machinery, etc.

2.1 Cotton canvas belt

Cotton canvas belts are mainly made of cotton fibers and processed through weaving and gluing processes. It has high flexibility and moisture absorption, but poor resistance to high temperature and oil.

2.2 Synthetic fiber canvas belt

Synthetic fiber canvas belts are made of synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, which have excellent tensile strength and wear resistance. In addition, it also has good resistance to high temperature and oil, suitable for various harsh working conditions.

3、 Steel wire transmission belt

Steel wire transmission belt is a transmission belt made of steel wire as the skeleton and covered with rubber or other materials on the outer layer. It has high tensile strength and a long service life, suitable for high-power and high-speed transmission systems. Steel wire transmission belts can be classified into the following types based on their structure and purpose:

3.1 Steel wire rope core belt

The steel wire rope core belt is made of steel wire rope as the skeleton, and the outer layer is covered with rubber. It has high tensile strength and impact resistance, and can withstand large tension and impact forces.

3.2 Steel wire woven tape

The steel wire woven belt adopts a mesh structure made of steel wire woven, and the outer layer is covered with rubber or other materials. It has high tensile strength and wear resistance, as well as good flexibility and elasticity.

4、 Polyurethane transmission belt

Polyurethane transmission belt is a transmission belt made mainly of polyurethane material, which has excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, and aging resistance. Polyurethane transmission belts are commonly used in high-precision and high-efficiency transmission systems, such as printing machinery, textile machinery, etc.

5、 Special transmission belt

In addition to the common types of transmission belts mentioned above, there are also some special types of transmission belts, such as step belts, toothed belts, etc. These drive belts have special structures and functions that can meet the needs of specific working conditions.

5.1 Synchronous belt

A synchronous belt is a type of transmission belt with a toothed or wedge-shaped structure that can match the grooves or wedges on the pulley, achieving precise transmission ratios and stable transmission effects. Synchronous belts are commonly used in high-precision and high-speed transmission systems, such as CNC machine tools, automation equipment, etc.

5.2 Toothed belt

Toothed belt is a type of transmission belt with a toothed structure, which can form a meshing relationship on the pulley and achieve efficient transmission effect. Toothed belts have high transmission efficiency and long service life, making them suitable for various heavy-duty and high-speed transmission systems.

conclusion

As an important component of industrial transmission systems, the type and performance of transmission belt fabric directly affect the efficiency and stability of the entire transmission system. Therefore, when selecting the transmission belt fabric, it is necessary to choose the appropriate type based on specific working conditions and requirements. This article introduces several main types of transmission belts, including rubber transmission belts, canvas transmission belts, steel wire transmission belts, polyurethane transmission belts, and special transmission belts, hoping to be helpful for readers in selecting and applying transmission belt fabrics.
