ContiTech FO Pioneer belt delivers more power and service life
TransDev will present a number of new timing belt products for the first time at the 2016 Drives & Controls Show at the NEC in April. In their role as an authorised UK and Ireland distributor, the company is showcasing a new product from partners ContiTech. More information will be available at stand (D652).
CONTI FO Pioneer Timing Belt
- Raw-edge V-belt from ContiTech: more power, longer service life
- Raw-edge V-belt on basis of ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM)
- FO Pioneer provides improved product properties compared with the FO Advance
ContiTech Power Transmission Group has launched a high performance raw-edge V-belt for drive systems in machine and plant engineering. The FO Pioneer from ContiTech is a high-performance raw-edge V-belt for drive systems in machine and plant engineering. Compared with the FO Advance, the FO Pioneer offers up to 20 per cent more power transmission and longer service life - a development that demonstrates the extensive material expertise of the specialist in rubber and plastics technology.
The raw-edge drive belt is oriented towards the needs of the industry. It owes its improved product properties to its base material ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber. EPDM is dynamically more stable than standard rubber compounds and has a higher temperature resistance, ranging from -40degC to + 120degC.
A sub-construction made of EPDM forms the basis, a tensile member made of polyester and a cotton cover provide more stability. The new belt is resistant to dust and tropical conditions; it is also conductive according to ISO 1813 as well as partially oil resistant. It will be available in the fourth quarter of 2015 and will replace the FO Advance in dimensions up to 2932mm.
