Megapower Timing Belts are manufactured in thermoset polyurethane, with helically wound zinked steel. This type of
belts, developed by our Research & Development, offers good running characteristics and high traction loads. They
are especially suited for power transmission. An extra thickness of special coating is also possible on the back of the
belt offering extra protection against aggressive or heavy products.
1. The body of the belts is grey/green thermoset polyurethane 88 ShA, characterized by high levels of wear resistance
even in the presence of shock and surge loading. The thermoset polyurethane is obtained by mixing a prepolymer
with a bonding compound and heating the mixture. After cooling down to ambient temperature, the result is a
polyurethane with good chemical and mechanical characteristics giving the belt high performances and long lifetime.
2. High strength helically wound zinked steel tension members allow high breaking load and extremely low
elongation.
The combination of these high grade materials improves belt performances which can be summarised as follows:
• exceptional resistance to abrasion and tooth shear
• low coefcient of friction
• high exibility
• ozone and temperature resistance (-25 °C / +80 °C)
• oil, grease and gasoline resistance
