  • Publication number: 20230141268
    Abstract: Compositions for material layers suitable for use in power transmission belts are described. The composition includes millable polyurethane, such as polyester-based millable polyurethane or polyether-based millable polyurethane, such that material layers formed from the composition are solid but pliable. The disclosed material layers can be used to form the main body portion of power transmission belts, such as synchronous belts, V-belts, and micro-V belts.

  • Publication number: 20230057811
    Abstract: A power transmission belt having a belt body, a tensile cord embedded in the belt body, and a jacket defining a pulley contact surface, where the jacket has been treated on at least the pulley contact surface with an aqueous fabric treatment or dip which includes an aqueous PEEK dispersion as part of the dip. The aqueous dip may further include an epoxy and a rubber latex. The aqueous dip may further include graphene or graphene oxide. The fabric may include aramid or nylon fibers. The jacket may cover the teeth of a toothed belt.

  • Publication number: 20230059945
    Abstract: Textile reinforced elastomeric composites having a textile reinforcement embedded in an elastomeric matrix. The textile reinforcement includes fibers or yarns and an adhesive treatment applied to the fibers wherein the adhesive treatment comprises graphene or graphene oxide. The textile reinforcement may be a fabric or a tensile cord. The fibers may be polyester, aramid, carbon fiber, glass fiber, PBO, PEN, or polyamide. The adhesive treatment may be an epoxy treatment, an epoxy-latex treatment, an acrylic polymer treatment, a latex treatment, a polyurethane treatment, an RFL treatment, a rubber cement, or combinations thereof. The composite may be in the form of a toothed belt wherein the textile reinforcement is a tooth cover or a helically wound tensile cord embedded in the belt.

  • Patent number: 11421561
    Abstract: A synchronous belt drive system having: a synchronous belt with a tensile cord of high-modulus fiber such as glass, carbon, PBO, or aramid; a driver sprocket and at least one driven sprocket, at least one of which is an obround sprocket; and a tensioner having: a base having a cylindrical portion extending axially with a radially outer surface and a receiving portion, an eccentric arm pivotally engaged with the radially outer surface, a torsion spring disposed within the receiving portion, the torsion spring applying a biasing force to the eccentric arm, and a pulley journalled to the eccentric arm. Preferably, no one of the eccentric arm, pulley, or torsion spring is axially displaced along an axis A-A from the others. The obround sprocket has a toothed surface and at least one linear portion disposed between two arcuate portions having a constant radius, the linear portion having a predetermined length.
