Application-oriented belt technology
Steel cord reinforcement provides excellent tensile capacity and low elongation, making these belts suitable for long centers and demanding heavy-duty installations. Belt class, cord pitch, cover grade and monitoring options can be selected to suit the project.
Technical overview
| Reinforcement | Longitudinal steel cords |
|---|---|
| Typical duty | Heavy / very heavy |
| Key benefit | Low elongation |
| Options | Monitoring / special covers |
Typical applications
Construction
Steel cord belts use longitudinal high-tensile steel cables embedded in rubber as the main load-carrying reinforcement. The cords are arranged at a controlled pitch and bonded to specialized rubber to achieve high splice strength and stable performance.
Operating Properties
The decisive advantages are very low elongation, very high tensile capacity and suitability for long center distances. This allows reduced take-up travel and reliable operation on demanding overland or high-capacity systems.
Selection Criteria
Projects should define required belt rating, safety factor, splice system, cord pitch, cover grade, impact level, troughing geometry and any rip-detection or monitoring concept.
Application engineering matters
Final belt selection should always be verified against the real conveyor geometry, tension calculation, material characteristics, duty cycle and environmental exposure.
