Flex Belt & Wound Endless
The Best of Both Worlds: Flex Belt & Wound Endless
Combining Strength and Versatility in Timing Belts
Flex Belt & Wound Endless belts represent a significant advancement in timing belt technology, combining the strength of molded endless belts with the versatility of customizable lengths. Traditional timing belts are typically produced using two methods: molded endless, which offers high strength but fixed lengths, and open-ended, which provides flexibility in length but may lack the strength of endless construction. Flex Belt & Wound Endless belts bridge this gap by offering the robust, truly endless construction of molded belts while allowing for custom lengths ranging from 1.5 to 13.5 meters.
Key Features
Truly Endless Design
Manufactured without splices or welds, these belts deliver superior strength and longevity, making them ideal for high-tension and power transmission applications.
Steel Reinforced Cords
Incorporating steel cords enhances durability, reduces stretch, and improves flex-fatigue properties, ensuring reliable performance under demanding conditions.
Urethane Construction
The use of urethane provides excellent abrasion and chemical resistance, contributing to the belt’s durability and suitability for various industrial environments.
In the past, there has been two basic methods for producing timing belts, Molded Endless and Open-Ended. Now we can offer a third method called Flex-Wound Endless. This method allows us to provide belts with molded endless strength, and with flexibility in making belts any length within the given range listed below.
Consider this belt when you need a wound endless construction and a standard molded endless belt is not available.
F. N. Sheppard Flex – Timing Belts are made to custom lengths ranging from 1.5 to 13.5 meters. Our unique manufacturing process provides you with the benefit of custom length belts with the additional power, strength and reliability of truly endless construction.
Truly Endless Design for greater loads and long life.
These belts are manufactured in an endless form for greater strength and longer life compared to spliced (welded belts). Truly endless construction is ideal for power transmission and high-tension applications.
Steel reinforced urethane construction for improved durability.
Our steel reinforced urethane construction provides greater durability than neoprene belts. These belts exhibit excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. Steel cords provide exceptional strength, low stretch, and excellent flex-fatigue properties.
