Abstract: The present invention concerns a belt (1), with a belt body (10) which extends substantially in a longitudinal direction and substantially comprises a flexible material, wherein at least one tensioning member (13), preferably a plurality of tensioning members (13), is at least substantially embedded in the belt body (10) in the longitudinal direction and at least substantially surrounded by the flexible material of the belt body (10), and with a coating (14) which is arranged directly on the belt body (10) from a drive side (11) of the belt (1), wherein the coating (14) comprises a fabric layer (14b). The belt (1) is characterized in that facing the belt body (10), the coating (14) has a first film (14a) which is arranged between the belt body (10) and the fabric layer (14b) and is designed to isolate the belt body from the fabric layer (14b).

Abstract: A belt for drive systems includes: an elastic and flame-retardant belt body made from a polymeric material and at least one flame retardant additive, the belt body having a cover layer as a belt back and a substructure which has a force transmission zone; and a tension member embedded in the belt body, wherein the belt body is partially or completely provided with a coating, which coating is single- or multi-layered.

Abstract: A method for treating a tension member in the production of a belt. The belt includes at least a belt body made of a polymer material having elastic properties, a cover layer as a belt backing, and a substructure having a force-transmission zone. The tension member has a ribbed design and is embedded in the belt body. The tension member is treated with an overall treatment mixture which forms a cross-linked polymer that on the one hand enters into a mechanical connection with the tension member and on the other hand forms an adhesive connection with the belt body.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a belt with upstream treatment of a tension member. The belt comprises a belt body made of a polymeric material having elastic properties, having a top ply as belt backing and a substructure having a force transmission zone, and a tension member embedded into the belt body. The tension member has been treated with crosslinked polymer; in an upstream stage of the belt fabrication method, voids in the tension member are filled at least partly with crosslinked polymer and the tension member is sealed with an envelope layer of crosslinked polymer, this being done, in a single treatment stage or in at least two treatment stages, by wetting of the tension member with an overall treatment mixture comprising at least one prepolymer, at least one crosslinker and at least one solvent or dispersion medium, and then drying of the treated tension member.

Abstract: A belt comprises at least a belt body made of a polymer material having elastic properties, the belt including a cover layer as a belt backing, a substructure having a force-transmission zone, and a tension member in a ribbed design embedded in the belt body. The tension member is prepared with a cross-linked polyurethane in such a way that the polyurethane fills at least part of the tension member cavities. The polyurethane filling material enters into a mechanical connection to the tension member on the one hand and an adhesive connection to the belt body on the other hand. The polyurethane filling material has a Shore A hardness that is 0.5 to 10 times harder than the Shore A hardness of the belt body. The belt body is preferably likewise made of cross-linked polyurethane, in particular using a carbon tension member.

Abstract: A belt for drive technology having a belt body made from two polymer materials (A) and (B) with elastic properties and including a top layer as the belt back and a substructure with a force transfer zone and a tension member embedded in the belt body. The first material (A) contains 15 to 50% w/w of at least one fire-resistant additive and is used everywhere in the belt body where high mechanical properties are not required and the second material (B) contains 5 to 35% w/w of at least one fire-resistant additive and is used in the are of the belt body that is subjected to the highest mechanical stresses. The belt is particularly used as a tractive element for hoisting technology.

Abstract: A device and a method for producing impregnated reinforcements, in particular for composite materials such as drive belts. The method for producing the reinforcements includes: introducing the reinforcement into an applicator device; introducing at least one substance for impregnating the reinforcement into the applicator device; and, embodying the impregnated reinforcement. The device comprises at least one applicator through which the reinforcement is guided and at least one intake for a substance for impregnation.

Abstract: A belt for driving systems, including a belt body made of a polymeric material having elastic properties, which comprises a cover layer as a back of the belt and a foundation having a force-transmission zone, and, a tensile reinforcement embedded in the belt body. The belt body is made of at least two different materials A and B, namely: a first material A, which is provided with a fire-inhibiting additive and is used in the belt body everywhere the high mechanical properties are not required; and, a second material B, which contains little or none of a fire-inhibiting additive and is used in the area of the belt body that is subjected to great mechanical stress. The belt is used in particular as a tensile element for elevator systems.
