HUTCHINSON TRANSMISSION: REPLACE ONE TIMING BELT WITH ONE HUTCHINSON RIBBED BELT.

The poly-v® belt is the belt for all industries. Refer to our section dedicated to the Poly-V® belt, its advantages, structure and part numbers.

Flexonic®, the first elastic belt for industry. For more information on its advantages and characteristics, refer to our section dedicated to the Flexonic®.

Conveyxonic™, the belt that revolutionizes roller conveyance.
For more information on technical performance, economical aspect, reliability and ease of use, refer to our section dedicated to the Conveyxonic™.

Use of the timing belt:
The TIMING BELT permits the transmission of positioned movement.
The timing belt allows for the transmission of low power in a cramped environment.
The timing belt synchronizes driving and driven speeds.
Finally, the timing belt does not comply with peak torques.

Discover the advantages of replacing your timing belt with a Poly-V®:
The Poly-V® belt is versatile: Its power transmission ability goes from 0 to 600 kW (maximum 100 kW for a synchronous belt).
The linear speed of a poly-v® can therefore run higher without belt vibration or noise caused by the belt, this guarantees that it will run more quietly.
More flexible, the ribbed Hutchinson Poly-V® belt offers easy installation and possibly covers clutch functions.With an increased life span, the poly-v® ensures drive reliability.

A successful example of a drive transformation from timing to Poly-V®: Refrigeration Unit Fans

On refrigeration unit fans, which frequently have a timing belt drive, several problems are common:
- Sound pollution (due to air compression between the belt and the pulley ribs).
- Corrosion (stagnant humidity on the pulley cogs that generate wear and rust).

We bring to these fan drives our Poly-V® solution which allows:
- Noise reduction (with the longitudinal air flow along the Poly-V® ribs).
- Cleanliness (the poly-V® rib design lets the water out, thus preventing rust formation).

Please consult our applications library to discover the advantages of Hutchinson belts for your application.

Discover the advantages of replacing your belt with a Flexonic®:
The Flexonic® belt absorbs jolts and vibrations, also allowing for reduced noise and adding to the overall drive life span.
The easy installation of the Flexonic® leads to time savings on assembly lines.
The maintenance budget can also be cut because the tension of the Flexonic® belt is stable throughout its lifetime.

A successful example of a drive transformation from timing belt to Flexonic®: Wood planes

On wood planes, that frequently have a synchronous belt drive, several typical problems are:
- Tensioning is difficult because it calls for a tight tolerancing of the belt length.
- Jumps and rib tears of the belt during severe decelerations.
- Wheezing due to air compression in the pulley's ribs.

Using a Flexonic® belt on wood planes offers several advantages:
- A simplified installation on a fixed center distance system, with controlled tension.
- A significant savings in time during installation.
- A higher level of performance.
- Reliability.
- Noise reduction.
- Security.
- Compact drive.
- User comfort.
