Belt Technologies, Inc., is introducing its new TruPulleyTM line of products, which all work to monitor or regulate the tension, pace or tracking of a metal belt, providing next-level innovation to manufacturers across a limitless range of applications.
AGAWAM, Mass., March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Belt Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of custom metal belt conveyor solutions for more than 50 years, is introducing the new TruPulleyTM line of products, which all work to monitor or regulate the tension, pace or tracking of a metal belt. The patent-pending TruTensionTM, TruPaceTM and TruTrackTM pulleys are available as standalone products or as part of a conveyor system designed by Belt Technologies engineers and manufactured in the United States.
"After years of dedication to creating these superior products, we are excited to finally release them to the world," said Belt Technologies CEO Denis Gagnon. "This line of pulleys is a testament to our commitment to engineering excellence and innovation within the conveying system market. We know this new line will exceed customer expectations and are excited to see all the applications it will benefit."
The TruTensionTM Pulley incorporates sensors to measure the tension of a steel belt, allowing users to optimize the belt's performance and maximize its lifespan. The TruTensionTM pulley leverages a small, enclosed controller (separate from the pulley) that senses the bearing load in the pulley. Through a calibration process, the pulley measures the belt tension and displays it digitally on the controller display—making TruTensionTM a first of its kind in the marketplace.
The TruPaceTM Pulley consists of a thin-walled tube with end caps that add rigidity and allow for multiple mounting options for the end user. These pulleys can be accelerated very quickly with low power output and can be customized to meet customer specifications. Compared to standard pulley designs of similar diameter and width, the TruPaceTM Pulley offers a significant decrease in inertia to allow designers to specify smaller motors and gearboxes for their equipment.
The TruTrackTM Pulley precisely automates belt tracking by using a segmented roller design that moves with virtually no friction along the shaft between two edge guides, improving the lifespan of the belt. The segmented design of the TruTrackTM Pulley substantially reduces side loads on the belt, preventing damage to its edge and improving belt life in ways standard edge guides or flanges can't.
"We are very proud of these products and the work that went into their development," said Belt Technologies President Alan Wosky. "There are countless applications for these pulleys, and with our customization capabilities, the possibilities are endless."
Belt's PureSteel® products drive productivity with custom automation solutions complete with engineering support from concept to completion. Through sophisticated engineering, advanced manufacturing processes and unlimited custom designs, their products can suit any application.
