RPP STEEL is a new generation of open end rubber timing belt, manufactured with a high performing EPDM rubber compound and an innovative production process.
RPP STEEL withstands chemically aggressive environments, provides a great abrasion and superior wear resistance and an extended range of working temperatures.
Features
RPP Steel is designed around the well-known RPP profile, in order to assure the interchangeability on existing drives and pulleys. The belt has very limited elongation compared to equivalent versions with glass or aramid cord.
Main components
01 / BODY
The body is made of high quality EPDM compound.
02 / CORD
The reinforcement is achieved by means of multiple strands of high-strength, high-modulus steel cords with “S” and “Z” torsions.
These are vulcanised into one homogenous unit within the EPDM.
03 / COVER
Nylon fabric covers the teeth surface, protecting it.
Mechanical and chemical properties
maximum traction load capacity
no elongation in time
high level of resistance to flex fatigue
suitable for application with back idler
