Flat-belt drives

The flat-belt drive is the oldest type of drive. It is considered the classic “transmission drive”. This drive mistakenly does no longer get the attention which it deserves, because for certain applications it is still the optimum solution from both a technical and economic point of view. Especially at high speeds (150 .. 200 m/s) this drive is capable of transmitting a great deal of power (80 .. 230 kW), making it a very suitable for certain applications for example for machinery in the textile and paper industries.
