| DuraBelt Quick Connect Twisted
belts are also called connectable belts, twisted O-rings, zero downtime
belts, and easy hook round belts. Twisted belting is designed to
replace urethane endless round belts that become damaged or wear
out. These connectable belts are easily and quickly installed in
the field without dismantling drive shafts. The tips of quick fix
belts are loops that you connect together with small stainless steel
or plastic hooks that come with the belts. |

- Eliminate costly downtime.
- No need to drop shafts.
- Installs in seconds with Speedy Belt Installer (SBI)
- No need to drop rollers with SBI.
- Lengths from 2" to 300 ft. (50mm to 100 meters).
- Measure them from tip to tip, excluding hook.
- Cross sections: 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16",
1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16",

(These are the effective diameters that two strands of twisted cord produce.
For example, this means our Twisted 3/16" belt replaces a 3/16"
round o-ring belt.)
- Available in many colors.
- Durometers 80A to 95A.
- Available in Anti-Static (static dissipative)

Because they are coiled
like springs, twisted belts stretch more than round belts. Most round
belts are stretched 10%, while twisted belts are typically stretched
17%.
When ordering, specify easy-to-install stainless steel or long lasting plastic hooks.
NEW Abuse
Resistant Rough Green Twisted Belts are harder and
have a lower coefficient of friction that lets them
slip easier when boxes jam, so there is less heat
build up. This means they can take more abuse. Made from 88A
cord, their higher tension helps offset their tendency to slip,
so they provide almost as much drive as 83A belts. Works exceptionally
well on high speed lineshaft curves where belts rub hard and fast
against roller grooves. Stretch them 14%. Use only with plastic hooks. |

We recommend the Speedy Belt
Installer because it greatly reduces the installation time
of twisted belts down to about 25 seconds. Click on the picture

How
to measure Twisted Belts

Tip
-- Twisted belts are adjustable:
You can shorten and tighten Twisted Belts by twisting an end before
hooking the belt together. One complete revolution shortens the belt
by about 1/10 inch. Therefore, if you twist it 5 times before hooking the
ends, the belt will be 1/2" shorter and provide greater tension.
Lifespan: Two strands of twisted cord contain about 89% as
much urethane as one strand of the round belt that they replace,
so they will only last 89% as long, at best. They usually fail
when the the hook pulls through the loop.
Consequently, twisted belts typically last about 60% to 70% as long
as endless round belts.
For the best in twisted belts, false twist drive bands, connectable
belts, twisted O-rings, zero downtime belts, and easy
hook round belts insist on DuraBelt twisted belting. |
