  • Patent number: 9581219
    Abstract: A power transmission belt (20) having an elastic main body (17) includes a top layer as the belt backing and a bottom section having a power transmission zone. The power transmission zone and/or the top layer has/have a coating (15, 16), characterized in that the coating (15, 16) of the power transmission zone and/or the top layer includes at least the following layer construction: a base coating (18) made of a textile material, wherein the base coating (18) forms a bond with the elastic main body (17) and has a surface coating (19) including at least a mixture A, which contains at least one reactive diluent as per DIN 55945:2007-03. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a power transmission belt. The novel coating concept is applicable in particular in a toothed belt.

  • Publication number: 20110111902
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive belt (1), particularly a toothed belt, having an elastic base body, comprising a cover layer (2) as the belt back, and a subframe (4) having a power transmission zone (7), wherein the base body is made from oil-resistant vulcanized rubber on the basis of a copolymer comprising butadiene and acrylonitrile, particularly HNBR, wherein according to the invention the proportion of acrylonitrile (CAN proportion) is <33% by weight with regard to the total weight of the copolymer. The particularly advantageous CAN proportion is 20 to 35% by weight. The power transmission zone (7) is typically also equipped with a textile cover (8), which is further provided with an oil-resistant protective layer (9), which is preferably made from PTFE.
