A steel chord, commonly referred to as a steel cord in the context of conveyor belts, is a type of reinforcement material made from high-tensile steel wires twisted together to form a strong, flexible strand. These steel cords are embedded within the conveyor belt to provide the necessary tensile strength to handle heavy loads and resist stretching under tension. Each steel cord consists of multiple steel wires, often coated with zinc to enhance corrosion resistance and durability. The cords are spaced uniformly across the width of the belt to ensure even load distribution and maintain the belt's structural integrity. In conveyor belts, steel cords play a crucial role in ensuring the belt's longevity and performance, especially in demanding industrial applications where the belt must withstand significant stress and harsh environmental conditions.
