Flat Belt Drives

A Recent addition to our Drive's Product Portifilo, although a well established technology is a range of Flat Belt and Pulleys for Power Transmission drive systems!

Up to 99% Efficent transmission of power

A Flat belt drive may be old Technology, but is still one of the most efficent method of Power Transmission by combining the Habasit modern range of Flat Belts and this range of Crown Flat pulleys, then it's possible to acheive up to 99% efficency of power transmission coupled with improved belt life of up to 4 times, compared against a Multi Groove Vee Pulley Drive of at the best 92% efficency, then this more than warrants the initial increase in capital cost.

Benefits over Vee Belt Drive System

Modern Flat belt drives are again being more widely used within the power transmission drive market, due to their advantages over a conventional Vee belt Drive!

1. Higher degree of efficency up to 99%.
2. Up to 4 times the life span, lower maintenance costs.
3. Lower noise emission of between 10-20dB.
4. Almost maintenance free operation after initial tensioning.

As the HABASIT Range of Flat Belts for power transmission are design to run under Tension and can take up to 2% of Tension without affecting life expectancy, therefore to ensure that the correct belt is selected and the correct amount of pre-tension are calculated and applied so as to ensure maximum drive efficiency and maintenance free operation. In conjunction with HABASIT we provide a Free Drive selection Service-see below.
