New productivity: synchronous belts are more energy-saving than V-belts

April 09, 2024

Among various transmission systems, belt drive is the most widely used and plays an important role in all walks of life. Especially in energy and electric motor drive systems, it is indispensable. The country spends up to 100% on energy and electric drive systems every year. More than 100 billion yuan, and there are tens of millions of motors in operation. However, most of them are not operating at optimal efficiency, but consume 70% of the power in the factory.

Transmission efficiency is a measure of the power loss associated with motors, bearings and drives. Power loss not only pollutes the environment but also causes loss of wealth.

If a company or factory can pay attention to these transmission systems and increase efficiency by 5%, it will bring them huge energy savings. The efficient synchronous belt drive is a perfect solution for energy saving, making it widely used in various industrial fields.

advantage:

V-belts are made of many kinds of raw materials, with different cross-sections, wrapping cloths, tension cords, reinforced fiber mixtures, cast teeth, etc., so they are divided into different types of belts. Due to its relatively low cost, wide application range and low noise performance, V-belts are very popular in the power transmission industry.

shortcoming:

●The friction between both sides of the belt and the pulley groove generates heat loss.

●Due to their thick section, V-belts require more energy to bend in order to adhere to the wheel well.

●When the tension is not enough to transmit the load, the V-belt will slip.

●Due to the increased elongation of the belt during operation, most V-belts require regular maintenance and re-tensioning (except for Optibelt RED POWER V-belts, etc.).

Synchronous belt drive can replace V-belt drive and chain drive. With the continuous development of synchronous belt technology, according to different material structures, it can be divided into PU synchronous belts and rubber synchronous belts; according to the tooth structure, it can be roughly square teeth or arc teeth (as shown in the picture above)

Features:

●There is almost no friction between the belt and the pulley, so there is no heat loss.

●The thin cross-section of the timing belts requires very little energy to bend and attach to the pulleys.

●The synchronous belt teeth and pulley grooves can mesh perfectly, and the belt will not slip.

●After the synchronous belt is installed correctly, since the belt elongation is very small, maintenance and re-tensioning are not required.

Efficiency comparison between synchronous belt and V-belt:

Through comparison, it can be concluded that synchronous belts, such as zhongsheng Zhongsheng synchronous belts, can always maintain an efficiency of 98%-99% during belt transmission operation as long as they are installed correctly, which is an average of 5% higher transmission efficiency than V-belts. above.
