Innovative in material and design
Thanks to its greater flexibility and traction, the
CONTI POLYFLAT PU Flat Belt enables compact drives
with much smaller pulley diameters in comparison
to conventional drives with steel cords. Smaller drive
pulleys allow the use of space-saving drive motors and
secondary engineering.
Compact drive configurations with low inertia reduce
not only the manufacturing costs but also the power consumption.
The steel-reinforced belts made of modified polyurethane
are extremely flexible, hard-wearing, and durable. They
are virtually corrosion-proof due to their galvanised steel,
and their polyurethane coating ensures anti-slip traction
and efficient power transmission.
Used in combination with crowned pulleys they ensure
excellent power transmission and very smooth running.
The CONTI POLYFLAT PU Flat Belt received the
"iF Ecology Design Award 2001" in gold and the "iF Product
Design Award 2001" in silver.

Each PU belt contains more steel wires
than a conventional steel cable.
They have the same tensile strength
although they weigh less.

Belt design
The outside of the CONTI POLYFLAT PU Flat Belt
consists of polyurethane; the tension member takes
the form of a strand design.
The two opposing directions of lay of the steel cords
with their strands ensure neutral in-service properties.
The result: quiet and smooth running

Pulley geometry
To promote the alignment of belts
the drive/deflection pulleys may be
designed as follows:
■ Cylindrical with side flanges
■ Convex with/without side flanges
It must be checked that the inclination of the shaft is suitable for the
size of the crowning.
■ More info on the barrelling is given
in DIN 111.

Test results: CONTI POLYFLAT
PU Flat Belt, type XHP
The service life of the steel cord-reinforced CONTI
POLYFLAT PU Flat Belt, type XHP is three times as long as
that of belts with conventional steel cables under the same
operating conditions. Endurance testing verified there
is only a slight reduction in the strength values after several
million load cycles. The traction testing on the cycle duration
similarly demonstrated the wear resistance of the system.
Steel Cord, Type XHP
ContiTech
Specialist in rubber and
plastics technology
The reliability of the
CONTI POLYFLAT Flat
Belt, type XHP is attained thanks to the use of
numerous high-strength
wires. The steel cords (diameter 1.67 mm) and their
parallel-to-edge alignment
increase the flexibility in
comparison to the steel
cable. In this way the
bearing face of the flat belt
is made wider and the pulley can be more easily
driven.
So the diameter of the
pulley can be reduced to
100 mm. The design of
wire/strand/cord in combination with the ultramodern manufacturing process enables an optimum
spreading of the polyurethane which hence
completely surrounds the
cables. This aspect in turn
keeps the wires in place
within a braid and bonds
the individual braids
together.
The result:
– small bending radius
– high strength
– low corrosion
The horizontal alignment
of the steel cords gives the belt its flat shape.
