Mechanical hinge joint assemblies ERO Joint® for V-belts are available in Polyurethane and Polyester from profile 17x11. Assembly is by screwing.
The transverse screw is the joint pin, embedded in the belt material.
This pin considerably increases the flexibility of the mechanical joint, enabling belts to be used on smaller pulley diameters.
ERO Joint® Polyurethane V-belts can be used for both power transmission and transportation.
In all cases, the mechanical fastening systems ERO Joint® are linked to a traction cord embedded in the belt in order to provide the required mechanical resistance. (ERO Joint® is also available in belts without traction cord).
In such cases, a traction element is added to assure the mechanical resistance of the mechanical hinge joint.
Maintenance
Benefits
Advantages are a fast and easy installation and assembly.
With this new solution of mechanical hinge joint system, you will save time and optimize your production downtime by reducing the repair time.
There is no other mechanical hinge joint system in trapezoidal belts.
Mechanical fastening systems ERO Joint® are lasting solutions.
The ERO Joint® V-belts are spliced in our production using a patented process and fitted with the length requested.
Alternatives
Hollow round belts
Hollow round belts with coupling can only be used for very low mechanical resistance.
On-site splicing (with tooling)
V-belts may be spliced and welded on site by using a specific tool according to the splicing and welding procedure.
With mechanical hinge ERO Joint® you will reduce considerably costs, particularly for belts with high dimension and belts with tensile reinforcement.
Thanks to this new lacing technology, production costs are significantly reduce and the downtime too.
