Mechanical Pin Splice
Mechanical Pin Splice: Your Solution for Fast and Reliable Belt Splicing
Quick Installation, Quiet Operation, and Durable Performance
Mechanical pin splice belting is a specialized solution designed for rapid and efficient installation of timing belts, significantly reducing machine downtime. This method employs precision-cut square finger joints connected by stainless steel pins across the belt’s width, ensuring a secure and reliable splice. The installation process is straightforward, requiring only basic tools like pliers, and can be completed in seconds, making it ideal for applications where minimizing downtime is crucial.
Key Features and Benefits
Quick Installation
The mechanical pin splice allows for swift belt replacements without the need for extensive machine disassembly, thereby reducing operational downtime.
Quiet Operation
With no exposed metal parts contacting pulleys, these belts operate quietly, minimizing noise and reducing wear on both the belt and machinery components.
Compatibility
Designed to run on existing pulleys with the same minimum pulley requirements as traditional belts, they can also operate with back bend idlers.
Strength and Customization
Mechanical pin splices are robust enough for all conveying applications and can be customized to meet specific strength requirements.
“Ideal for quick timing belt installation”
Urethane timing belts with “Pin Splice”. The strongest mechanical splice for timing belts. Ideal for quick belt installations, which reduces machine downtime. Easily installed by hands with pliers.Quiet running because there are no exposed metal parts to come in contact with pulleys. Can run on your existing belt and can operate with back bend idlers. Precision fit, therefore eliminating gaps otherwise seen in competing designs. Strong enough for all conveying applications and can be custom designed according to the application strength needed. Available on most pitches, making it a “must have” for all conveying applications.
- Easily installed by hands and pliers in seconds.
- Increases profitability by reducing machine downtime during belt replacement. OEM’s save money in machine design because they no longer spend time making their machinery “belt installation friendly.”
- Quiet running because there are no exposed metal parts to come in contact with pulleys. This eliminates damage to pulleys and conveyed products, potentially caused by competing metal-based alternatives.
- Can run on your existing pulleys with the same minimum pulley requirements as your existing belt and can operate with back bend idlers.
- Excellent for belt applications with special backings including, but not limited to Linatex, Supergrip, 85 Shore A urethane, PVC, etc.
- Suitable for belts with profile attachments. Quick installation, reduces downtime and saves money.
- Precision fit, therefore eliminating gaps otherwise seen in competing designs.
- Strong enough for all conveying applications and can be custom designed according to the application strength needed, virtually matching the strength of traditional welding.
- Available on all pitches, making it a “must have” for all conveying applications.
