Machine tool belts by Megadyne-Jason withstand high wear and tear

Megadyne-Jason offers machine tool belts.

Megadyne-Jason is where Canadian businesses go when they need belts for industrial equipment – including a range of machine tool belts. These units work for positioning and power-drive applications, as well as manual machining needs. They are built to withstand the general wear and tear of many machining and manufacturing processes.

Other relevant uses include CNC machines, automatic or manual drill presses, mills, and lathes. These belts provide safe and efficient operation with no need for frequent maintenance.

Ability to handle high temperatures

There are three other key advantages that this lineup of machine tool belts offers: low noise levels, fatigue resistance, and ability to handle high temperatures. Occupational health and safety guidelines recommend sound-level limits that require ear protection, and narrower belts enable quieter tooling operations than curvilinear designs do.

Machine operators are often concerned with flex fatigue, or how much a belt can bend before it breaks. Flex fatigue is more likely as belt running speed increases. Similarly, the natural motion of belts going around pulleys generates internal heat, which increases with higher speed. Megadyne-Jason designs and constructs its belt products specifically to eliminate these issues.

The following kinds of machine tool belts are available:

• Timing belts. The Isoran Platinum is Megadyne-Jason’s premium rubber timing belt, guaranteeing extreme dimensional stability under static and dynamic tension, while the Isoran Silver2 is made of materials of the highest quality and resistance. The Open End RPP Steel is a high-performance belt for bidirectional, heavy-load applications, and the HTB performs well in high-torque drives at low speed.
• Flat belts. The Rubber Megaflat is recommended for light power-transmission applications and conveyance of lightweight items; the PU Megaflat works well with paper products.
• V-belts. Megadyne-Jason offers four variations of the UniMatch brand: the Classical, the Cogged Raw-Edge Classical, the Cogged Deep-Wedge, and the SP series of metric V-belts. Each design has its own unique advantages.
• Multi-rib belts. PV rubber-ribbed belts are flexible, low-noise, self-tracking units that can run at high speed and used in serpentine or twisted drives. Megarib belts work for commercial applications and food-slicing machines.
