What is the temperature resistance of drive belts?

The advantage of belt drives is that they can operate in a wide range of temperatures practically without any major maintenance.

At temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +60 °C there are generally no problems with use of belts. However, machine manufacturers continue to increase the performance and lifetime of the equipment and require resistance at extremely high and low temperatures.

The heat resistance of the belt is based on its construction and the material used.

Thanks to material, design and technological innovation, the durability and lifetime of belts have increased significantly over the past few years.

V-belts
