Baldor Electric Company's synchronous belt drive system have Dodge HTR
and HTRC Tracker belts. The belts have a
Reinforced Parabolic Profile (RPP) tooth design allowing the belt teeth to sit
deeper in the sprocket compared to standard belts.
The angle of
the RPP Tracker belts allows synchronous transmission of power to eliminate
slippage and speed variation on high torque applications. TapeLock sprockets are machined to match the
sprocket and belt and the new synchronous drive system delivers 5 percent more
energy efficiency over properly maintained V-belt systems.
The neoprene
rubber belts are manufactured with a fiberglass cord for tension stability and
prevents moisture from being absorbed.
With no belt shrinkage or stretch, Baldor says this belt will not have
to be re-tensioned making it virtually maintenance free and the belt
construction also helps reduce the belt installation tension, increasing the
life of the other mechanical components.
Baldor says when compared with a QD style product, the Dodge Taper-Lock
sprocket design requires less shaft length, offers more bore sizes per bushing
size and delivers more torque. The Dodge
sprocket system also minimizes overhung load by positioning the belt's center
line closer to the motor, reducer and bearings. An anti-corrosion coating
provides rust prevention and can achieve power ratings up to 1,200 hp.
