Among various transmission systems, belt drive is the most widely used and plays an important role in various industries, especially in the electric motor drive system of energy and power, which is indispensable. The country spends more than 100 billion yuan on energy and power drive systems every year, with tens of millions of motors in operation. However, most of them are not operating at optimal efficiency, but consume 70% of the electricity in factories.

Transmission efficiency is a measure of power loss related to motors, bearings, and drives. Power loss not only causes environmental pollution but also results in financial loss.

If a company or factory can attach importance to these transmission systems and improve efficiency by 5%, it will bring them huge energy savings.  Efficient synchronous belt drive is the perfect solution for energy conservation, making it widely applicable in various industrial fields.

Triangle belt drive:

advantage:

Triangles are made of various raw materials, including different cross-sections, fabrics, tension ropes, reinforced fiber mixtures, cast teeth, etc., so they are divided into different types of belts.  Due to its low cost, wide range of applications, and low noise performance, V-belts are highly favored in the electric power transmission industry.

Disadvantages:

The friction between the two sides of the belt and the pulley groove generates heat loss.

Due to the thick cross-section of the V-belt, they require more energy to bend in order to adhere to the wheel groove.

When the tension is insufficient to transmit the load, the V-belt will slip.

Due to the increased elongation of the belt during operation, most V-belts require regular maintenance and re tensioning (except for Optibelt RED POWER V-belts, etc.).

Synchronous belt drive:

Synchronous belt drive can replace V-belt drive and chain drive.  With the continuous development of synchronous belt technology, it can be divided into PU synchronous belt and rubber synchronous belt according to different material structures;  According to the structure of the tooth profile, it can be roughly divided into square teeth and circular arc teeth (as shown in the above figure)

characteristic:

The belt and pulley hardly generate friction, so there is no heat loss.

The thin cross-section of synchronous belts allows them to bend and adhere to the pulleys with minimal energy.

The synchronous belt teeth and pulley grooves can mesh perfectly, and the belt will not slip.

After correctly installing the synchronous belt, there is no need to maintain and tighten it again due to the small elongation of the belt.

Through comparison, it can be concluded that synchronous belts, such as Zhongsheng synchronous belts, can maintain an efficiency of 98% -99% as long as they are installed correctly during belt transmission operation, which is an average increase of more than 5% in transmission efficiency compared to V-belts.
