Abstract
The paper presents some issues of flat belts use in advanced machine designs. These belts allow realizing for the most complex drive and conveyor solutions as well as complex functions. They work in the drives at the highest speed, carry the highest torque, work with wheels arranged in various planes. With the use of modern material for belts, it is possible to obtain gearboxes with a wide range of applications, which should make them the most popular in machine construction.
Highlights
Basic barriers to the use of flat belts in production systems are mostly ignorance and prejudice
Functions and quality of belts have evolved considerably – construction has been made, which can meet the highest demands of modern machines [3]
The main feature of the belt drives is the transfer of torque over a long distances, they can perform the functions of other transmission, cylinders and drive shafts
Summary
The paper presents some issues of flat belts use in advanced machine designs. These belts allow realizing for the most complex drive and conveyor solutions as well as complex functions. Mark Twain once said: The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated To paraphrase this statement, one can say: flat belts are too outdated for advanced machine construction. Flat belts reach the highest speeds that are not available for other belt types. They are used in presses, where wooden boards or plastics are pressed under high pressure. Highest torque drives use flat belts [2]
