INTRODUCTION TO MEGADYNE MEGASYNC™ BELTS In order to improve and make the designers’ job easier, Megadyne has decided to simplify and reorganize most of the rubber endless timing belts in just one calculation handbook. INTRODUCING THE COMPLETE MEGADYNE MEGASYNC™ FAMILY OF BELTS. In the following pages you will find all the needed information regarding technical calculation, sizes and data about Megadyne MEGASYNC™ Imperial, STD and HTB, Silver, Gold and Titanium. Our wide range of products with different power ratings and several structures allows Megadyne to always find the best solution for...

CLASSIFICATIONS CLASSIFICATIONS MEGASYNC™ is the new family name for our rubber synchronous belt products. With the right selection of belt, Megadyne synchronous belts can replace gears, chain and other styles of belt delivering high performance, lubrication-free operating, quiet and long-lasting drive performance. These belts allow: • • • • • • • • synchronous transmission high and constant angular speeds high efficiency resistance to peak loads low-noise transmission no lubrication low maintenance linear speed up to 30 m/s 1. The body is made of high-quality rubber compound having: • • • •...

CLASSIFICATIONS COATING Megadyne MEGASYNC™ can be manufactured with special coating on the back side. Please check with our Application Department for more details. BELT SPECIFICATION BELT PITCH: the distance P in millimeters between two adjacent tooth Centres as measured along the pitch line of the belt. BELT PITCH LENGTH: the total length (circumference) of the belt in millimeters as measured along the pitch line (the theoretical pitch line lies within the tensile member). The pitch length is a value used to identify the length of a synchronous belt. BELT WIDTH: the width of the belt measured...

TECHNICAL CALCULATION STEP 1 - CALCULATION OF TRASMITTED POWER From Table 2 on page 7 select the appropriate service factor F S according to: • the type of the driven machine • the engine class, depending on the ratio between the peak load over the rated load • the service conditions (duty cycle category) If you are designing a drive with a speed up ratio (i = n1 / n 2 < 1) you need to consider the correction factor C m as reported in the following Table 1: TABLE 1 - CM FACTOR SPEED RATIO (I = N1 / N2) The corrected service factor CC will be: CC = FS + Cm The design power P C is obtained by multiplying...

TECHNICAL CALCULATION STEP 3 - SELECTION OF BELT, PULLEYS AND CENTER DISTANCE CHOICE OF BELT TYPE AND PITCH Several options are available, with improved belt’s power rating from MEGASYNC™ RPP by getting up to MEGASYNC™ Silver3, Gold2 and eventually Titanium, as shown in the graphs in the previous pages. The graph has: • design power P c along the X-axis • speed of the fastest shaft along the Y-axis. With these input data you will locate an intersection point. The area surrounding this point indicates the pitch you should use for your design. As shown, the most powerful belt is the MEGASYNC™ Titanium....
