BRECOFLEX® - Endless timing belts for power transmission

The BRECOFLEX® timing belt is manufactured in endless lengths without tension member interruption. The tension member is spirally coiled. BRECOFLEX® polyurethane timing belts can be universally used for all applications in power transmission technology up to 10,000 min-1.

Application areas

Endless timing belts for power transmissions
All drives designed for a high performance should preferably be produced as BRECOFLEX® polyurethane timing belts with a full length steel cord tension member. They can be subjected to both permanent operation or for a start-brake characteristic. They are working up to a rotational speed range up to 10,000 min-1. Endless timing belts are available in preferred catalog lengths. Our production range also permits the supply of intermediate lengths up to a maximum endless length of 20,000 mm.

StandardPlus - BRECOFLEX® timing belts with improved properties
This generation of BRECOFLEX® timing belts was special developed for high precision positioning applications. The use of bifilar winding prevents the formation of lateral forces resulting from the tensioned tension members inside the belt, wich cause the timing belt to run off. In this manner, the friction forces in the drive are considerably reduced wich leads to improve positioning properties.

Additionally, BRECOFLEX® StandardPlus timing belts achieve a notably improved pitch stability. The deviation of the tooth spaces could be further minimized. With this generation of BRECOFLEX® timing belts, the user is offered standard products wich unite outstanding properties, such as high power transmission, high rigidity, optimized running behaviour and high precision.

BRECOFLEXmove - Performace redefined
The BRECOFLEXmove is a timing belt specifically designed for high-performance drives and traction drives with a particularly high stiffness requirement. A newly developed steel cord tension member increases belt stiff - ness and tear-resistance, making transmission of stronger forces possible. The tooth flank geometry has been optimised through the Finite Element Method (FEM). This leads to an optimisation of the contact pressure distribution and reduces the work of friction between the timing belts and tooth washer, thus minimising wear. In addition, a friction-optimised laminate coating is applied to the tooth side. Selecting a narrower BRECOFLEXmove timing belt as an alternative to an endless standard timing belt makes a more compact drive design possible.

Materials

BRECO® and BRECOFLEX® timing belts are manufactured according to standard in the material with the designation TPUST1 and steel cord tension members. Other materials e.g. for low or high temperature or for contact with food are possible. Likewise high flexible tension members (E) and tension members in stainless-steel are available.

BRECO® - Open length / joined belts

BRECO M: The BRECO® timing belt is manufactured in open length. The tension members are always arranged with parallel edges. Open length is required e.g. in linear transmissions. All tension members assume part of the load.

BRECO V: BRECO® timing belts are manufactured from open length material welded to endless belts. In the join area the half number of tension members assume part of the load. The use of endless joined BRECO® timing belts is preferred in the conveying technology to handle any centre distance.

Application areas

Open length for linear transmissions
Rotary movements are converted into linear movements by linear transmissions. The BRECO® timing belt in its open length delivery form is preferably fitted to the machine part to be moved.

Joined belts for conveying drives
Endless joined timing belts without length limitation are available. The minimum length for various belt profiles, however, is to be taken into consideration. For special requirements in transportation timing belts are coated or manufactured with flights/profiles.
