Hybrid belts by Megadyne

3rd Quarter 2018 Shaft power components

Megadyne is a multinational company specialising in power transmission tools. The company now offers the Hybrid belt series (Basic version, Hybrid Belt Plus, Hybrid Pro Belt Plus and Hybrid Belt For Vacuum). These belts are used in the packaging, food, medical, paper and printing industries, as well as robotics and automation. These innovative hybrid belts with unique characteristics are made with the application of one or more polyurethane timing belts in the central part or at the edges of a conveyor belt, optimally combining the qualities of both products.

The Hybrid Belts series operates in a wide temperature range (-20 to 80°C for Hybrid Belt and Hybrid Belt Plus and -25 to 80°C for the top-of-the-range Hybrid Pro Belt Plus) and ensures greater productivity, with a driven speed up to 550 metres per minute, even in the case of customisation. The lower energy absorption of about 30%, combined with a quick and economical retrofit onto existing systems, lead to further savings, while the smaller pulleys allow a compact transmission and greater flexibility.

The timing belts used to make Hybrid Belts and Hybrid Belt Plus are Megalinear. The pitches commonly used are T10, T5, H, HTD5M, HTD8M and STD8M, while Hybrid Pro Belt Plus mounts the Megalinear QST that guarantees less noise. Finally, Hybrid Belt For Vacuum is the ideal solution for automation and vacuum handling due to the addition of a polyester plain fabric that guarantees optimal suction.
