Belts (industrial belts, automotive belts) keep the wheels moving!
by Pix Transmission PIX Transmissions LimitedIndustrial belts:
As their name
suggests, industrial belts helped
the industry progress and grow. Although they are less than a century old,
belts have revolutionized virtually every aspect of manufacturing and
technology.
In industries,
belts are the cheapest utility for power transmission between shafts that may not be axially aligned. In such cases, power
transmission is achieved by specially designed belts and pulleys.
The demands on a
belt drive transmission system are large and this has led to many variations on
the theme. They run smoothly and with little noise, and cushion motor and
bearings against load changes. Improvements in belt engineering allow use of
belts in systems that formerly allowed chains or gears.
PIX makes
extensive types of industrial belts, like wrap construction belts, moulded raw edged cogged belts,
ribbed/
poly V-belts, timing/
synchronous belts,
polyurethane belts etc.
Belt drive is simple, inexpensive, and does not require
axially aligned shafts. It helps protect the machinery from overload and jam,
and damps and isolates noise and vibration.
Load fluctuations are shock-absorbed (cushioned). They
need no lubrication and minimal maintenance. They have high efficiency (90-98%,
usually 95%), high tolerance for misalignment, and are of relatively low cost
if the shafts are far apart.
Without belts,
traffic would come to a complete standstill!
Belts, small and
large, drive the two and four wheel vehicles we ride in. A belt is a part of an internal combustion engine that synchronizes
the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft(s) so that the engine's valves open and close at
the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes.
Most modern
production automobile engines use a timing
belt or chain to synchronize crankshaft and camshaft rotation; some engines
instead use gears to directly drive
the camshafts. The use of a timing belt or chain instead of direct gear drive
enables engine designers to place the camshaft(s) further from the crankshaft,
and in engines with multiple camshafts a timing belt or chain also enables the
camshafts to be placed further from each other
We work with manufacturers in India and abroad to
design products for new vehicles as they are being developed. These strong
relationships together with our commitment to continuous innovation enable us
to offer a complete line of OE quality belts for the automotive
aftermarket.
