SELECTION N.B. The powers listed in the columns headed by the motor speeds in the Drive Tables

contact correction factor (g) and should be used in conjunction with the appropriate
slower shaft.

From Table 3 (page 39), select the Service Factor which is applicable to the drive. If the

(c) Design Power This value is the same for all types of belt of a given section.
Multiply the normal running power or prime mover power by the Service Factor. This

Add the Speed Ratio Power increment (j) to the Basic Power per Belt (h) and multiply by the

Refer to Table 2 (opposite) and trace to the right along the horizontal axis to the rev/min (l) Number of Belts required
of the faster shaft. Trace upwards along the vertical axis to the Design Power. Choose
the belt section and type represented by the area in which the point of intersection falls. Divide the Design Power from step (c) by the Corrected Power per Belt (k). The result gives the
number of belts required. If the answer contains a fraction use the next whole number.
(e) Minimum Pulley Diameter

PowerTwist PLUS belting incorporates the most up-to-date materials available, giving it unique qualities of resistance to many of the adverse working
conditions that belts are subject to, and properties that were deficient in earlier designs of link belts. These link belts are complementary to the range of
Fenner wedge and Vee Belts and are extensively used in industrial, marine, agricultural and heating & ventilation applications.
No Slippage
Quick, easy length adjustment minimises belt creep to guarantee
full speed and full productivity of machines.
Minimum Inventory
Four boxes of link belting can replace hundreds of fixed length, endless V-Belts.
Boxes can be stored easily, providing simplified visual control of inventory.
Vibration
Fenner link belts are manufactured to extemely close tolerances.
The design of the belt significantly reduces transmissible vibrations
in some applications.
Temperature
Power Twist Plus will operate in temperatures from - 40 to 110OC.
Economical Lengths
PowerTwist belting is also available in economical lengths.
Boxed in 10 metre lengths, ideal for display or mobile maintenance engineers.
Special Types
Double V Section
For use on serpentine drives with both sides of the belt engaging in V pulley
grooves.
AA; BB & CC sections.
Ground Round
Designed specifically to replace round profile rubber or leather belts on "rope"
drives.
8mm, 9.5mm, 12.5mm, 14mm & 19mm diameters.
High grip, or PTFE top layer coatings available for conveying applications.

PowerTwist Plus V-Belt's unique cross-lock design gives a raw edge cog
construction which provides excellent durability and performance, delivering
higher power ratings than almost any other link type V-Belts on the market.
When the tension is applied to the belt, the cross-link design locks tightly thus
producing the lowest stretch of any link V-Belt.
PowerTwist Plus V-Belts save time on installation because no special tools are
required, all that is needed is a quick twist both to couple or uncouple the belt
and this is easily achieved in seconds.
Available from stock in Z, A, B and C sections, for use in standard dual groove
pulleys. See pages 62-69.
