addition, the belts are subjected to dust, dirt, stones and other objects
that may enter between the belt and the pulley.
For all these reasons, you should only use belts specifically designed for
use on agricultural applications, as these are built to specifications
capable of withstanding such harsh conditions. They are robust and
reinforced, composed of materials that are both very flexible and resistant,
like aramid or polyester tensile members, specific elastomeric compounds or
highly resistant cover bands.
Flexible couplings
EuroGrip® Flexible Couplings
- Electronic speed controls are increasingly being used in
industry. In response to this requirement, Gates has developed a flexible
coupling range covering standard motor sizes. Gates EuroGrip® flexible
couplings consist of a rubber sleeve and two metal end pieces. The design of
Gates EuroGrip® flexible couplings is unique, with its OGEE lines(1)
allowing the coupling to act as a torque/life indicator for the drive.
Gates EuroGrip® flexible couplings are available in sizes 19, 28, 42, 48 and
60 and are bored to suit a taper bush or a plain bore and keyway. Gates
EuroGrip® flexible couplings have high vibration damping capacity, which
makes them especially suitable for direct drive applications in pumps and
compressors. Their high compliance is especially appreciated by designers of
speed control systems, where resonance can be a problem. The zero backlash
characteristics result in high positioning accuracy and repeatability,
allowing a wide range of applications in the linear actuator market.
