High Power Maintenance-free Raw Edge Cogged Belts from PIX

A toothed belt or cogged belt is a non-slipping mechanical drive belt. It is made as a flexible belt with teeth moulded onto its inner surface. It runs over matching toothed pulleys or sprockets. When correctly tensioned, it has no slippage and therefore often used to transfer motion for indexing or timing purposes. They are often used in lieu of chains or gears, so there is less noise and a lubrication bath is not necessary. For the ever increasing high speed requirements of today's modern machineries, cogged belts are imperative to effectively drive operations.

With detailed study and research, PIX has developed its specially engineered Raw Edge Cogged Muscle belts, for offering accelerated drive operation and a hassle-free, extended service life.

These high-power, maintenance-free cogged belts are the best fit for industrial drives. They offer higher power transmission with an augmented, trouble-free service life. They have been specifically designed to replace the traditional V-Belts on drives in terms of critical space and weight savings.

PIX’s Muscle-XR is the ultimate V-Belt to promise high speed, high power, extended life, no maintenance and eco-friendliness. Its cog profile makes the belt run smoothly in pulley grooves and it can be used on small pulley diameters. With PIX-Muscle®-XR, fewer number of belts are required as compared to conventional belts in order to achieve the same power transmission. In addition, for the same centre distance, smaller diameter pulleys and shorter belts can be used. Furthermore, they allow the use of very small pulleys, reducing both costs and weight.

Here is why PIX-Muscle®-XR is the optimum solution to sustain and augment the performance of your industry:

• •       Exceptionally high power rating – up to 40% more than conventional standard V-Belt
  
• •       High transmission efficiency up to 98% providing optimum output
  
• •       Maintenance-free property of the Belt ensures less machine down-time and an extended service life
  
• •       Complies with ISO 1813 - having antistatic property
  
• •       Temperature range from -25°C to +100°C allows the Belt to perform even at high ambient temperatures
  
• •       Space saving potential – as lesser number of Belts are required, it results into a compact drive
  
• •       REACH & RoHS compliance provides an eco-friendly system
  
• •       High dimensional stability results in the best wedging effect between the Belt and the pulley
  
• •       Increased performance due to the engineered Belt design
  

 

MUSCLE -XR Features & Benefits:

• •       The rubber impregnated top fabric provides good resistance to top layer cracking and abrasion. It also protects the Belt from environment degradation.
  
• •       The adhesion layer ensures the best possible bond between tension cord and rubber- impregnated fabric top surface that provides long service without cord separation.
  
• •       Maintenance-free cord significantly resists elongation as well as provides excellent tensile strength.
  
• •       High modulus compression rubber facilitates increased power transmission, superior transverse stiffness and high wear resistance.
  
• •       Moulded cogs for better flexibility, to operate even over smaller diameter pulley at high speeds. The cogs also help in reducing the bending stress apart from providing higher surface area for proper heat dissipation.
