This provides unequaled flexibility, uniformity, and resultant accuracy. The largest cause for failure of the typical belt is failure of the splice or the mechanical fastening system. Easier To Install Belts seldom wear out. Belts are more often damaged by tramp or oversize materials jamming in the feed system or by belt mistracking. A continuous belt typically requires 8 man-hours to install.
Damage caused by belt mistracking, overtensioning, or by tramp materials is excluded.
