Characteristics of the original belts
The standard belts on the market have different
characteristics compared to the requirements of
the original spare belts, supplied by the authorised
dealer. The latter are designed and manufactured
in close cooperation with the belt supplier and the
machine manufacturer.
Here are the reasons why it is important to choose
an original belt, useful when making such deci­
sions..
a) Adhesion on the pulley. The
belt rests with the sides inclined
against the walls of the pulley.
There must be a gap between the
belt and the bottom of the groove.
b) Floating pulley on cutting
equipment. The original Power
Take Off (PTO) belt is designed to
work even if the pulleys move up
and down and tilt at the same time.
c) Curvature in two directions.
All the original belts, which work
with tensioning arms acting on the
external side, are equipped with re­
inforcements. The reinforcement is designed spe­
cifically for these specific cases..
