CONTI POLYFLAT®

Modern drive technology combines dynamics, precision and in-service reliability at great economy. As a development partner and original equipment manufacturer for all industries, we offer new technological perspectives to both users and designers.

Innovative in material and design

Thanks to its greater flexibility and traction, the CONTI POLYFLAT® PU Flat Belt enables compact drives with much smaller pulley diameters in comparison to conventional drives with steel cords. Smaller drive pulleys allow the use of space-saving drive motors and secondary engineering. Compact drive configurations with low inertia reduce not only the manufacturing costs but also the power consumption. The steel-reinforced belts made of modified polyurethane are extremely flexible, hard-wearing, and durable. They are virtually corrosion-resistant due to their galvanised steel, and their polyurethane coating ensures anti-slip traction and efficient power transmission. Used in combination with crowned pulleys they ensure excellent power transmission and very smooth running.

Properties:

The properties of the CONTI POLYFLAT® PU Flat Belt open up many new areas of application, e.g. in lifting systems, car wash installations, forklifts, handling devices and scissors-type lifting tablesn.

Benefits of the design:

• Greater flexibility and traction
• Pulley can be driven more easily
• Smaller pulley diameter
• Less belt stretching under load
• Good running properties regarding noise and vibrations
• Maintenance-free and space-saving drive element
• High resistance to external influences (e.g. weathering, wear, UV radiation)
• Silicone-free designed

Standard properties:

• oil and grease resistance
• petrol and benzene resistance
• hydrolysis resistance
• UV radiation and ozone resistance
• can be bonded with thermoplastics
• suitable for temperatures ranging from -30 °C to +80 °C (For operational temperatures outside this range please seek advice from our technical experts)

The belt won the iF Ecology Design Award 2001 in gold and the iF Product Design Award 2001 in silver!
