Flexco® Bolt Hinged Fastener System

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Flexco® Bolt Hinged Fastener System is designed for applications requiring high-strength, dependable splices, particularly in environments with smaller pulleys. It is suitable for belts ranging from 1/4” (6 mm) to 5/8” (16 mm) thick and is ideal for industries such as construction, coal, salt, potash, grain, wood products, and recycling.

Specifications: The fasteners are available in sizes 375X and 550, accommodating different belt thicknesses and mechanical fastener ratings. The recommended minimum pulley diameters are specified for each size, ensuring optimal performance under operating tensions of 75%-100% of the belt rating.

Installation: The system features a versatile, easy-to-install design that allows for frequent length adjustments. Installation can be performed on-site using hand or power tools. The piloted bolt design simplifies installation and enhances the stability of the fastener plates.

Components: Each "J" carton includes a complete fastener joint with fastener strips, gauge pin, hinge pin, washers, filler tubing, and necessary bolts, nuts, and clips. The fasteners are available in various configurations, including steel and stainless steel options, with or without nylon covering for corrosion resistance.

Ordering Information: Detailed ordering information is provided for both 375X and 550 fasteners, including belt width options and corresponding ordering numbers for different cable types (NC, NCS, SC, SSC). Additional components such as extra piloted bolts, nuts, hinge pins, and filler tubing are also available for order.

Tools and Supplies: The installation of Bolt Hinged fasteners requires specific tools, including hand and power tools, punches, boring bits, wrenches, and curved templets. These tools ensure accurate placement and uniform tension across the belt end, minimizing splice edge failure.
