Since 1957, the Megadyne Group has offered innovative power transmission belt solutions for industries ranging from construction and heavy equipment to textiles and domestic appliances. Today, Megadyne's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and industrial distribution clients can choose from our diverse line of MEGASYNC™ rubber endless and open-end belts.
We've carefully developed and manufactured each product in this new family of high-performance rubber synchronous belts to provide lasting high-quality performance, quiet operation, and self-lubrication to minimize unscheduled downtime. In this blog, we'll provide details about the various MEGASYNC™ power transmission belts available in our product line to help you discover which synchronous belts fit your next project
Our MEGASYNC™ Titanium Ultra High-Torque line is Megadyne's answer for all your most demanding applications. This high-performance anti-static belt drive solution consists of innovative materials and can replace gears and chains based on its high power density. Titanium's interchange functionality works with HTD, RPP, PGGT, PCGT, and more of the most common deep pulley tooth profile systems.
Titanium Overview
-
Compound: Hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR)
-
Cord: 100% carbon fiber
-
Tooth facing: High-performance fabric with a special anti-friction treatment
-
Tooth profile: RPC profile, designed to be interchangeable with existing deep groove profiles and to run on pulleys according to ISO 13050
More powerful than our Silver and RPP products, the MEGASYNC™ Gold2 Super High-Torque combines the best roller chain drive and gear features while improving upon their drawbacks. Gold2 is antistatic and incorporates the RPC profile, which allows for optimal interchangeability between deep groove profiles. It is suitable for a wide range of applications in power transmission.
Gold2 Overview
-
Compound: High-performance nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)
-
Cord: High-performance K-Glass
-
Tooth facing: Low-friction, self-lubricating nylon for added longevity (single layer for 8M and dual layer for 14M)
-
Tooth profile: RPC profile, designed to be interchangeable with existing deep groove profiles and to run on pulleys according to ISO 13050
Our new and improved Silver3 Extra High-Torque belt solution is the next generation of our Silver series, offering enhanced features and performance at highly competitive prices. The Silver3 belt is antistatic and delivers up to 20% more power than our Silver2 products. You can upgrade your existing systems without replacing the pulleys. In addition, the more compact dimension optimizes space utilization and cost for all new drive systems due to improved performance.
Silver3 Overview
-
Compound: Fiber-loaded nitrile
-
Cord: Fiberglass
-
Tooth facing: Low-friction, self-lubricating nylon for added longevity
-
Tooth profile: RPC profile, designed to be interchangeable with existing deep groove profiles and to run on pulleys according to ISO 13050
The RPP synchronous belt, with its reinforced parabolic tooth profile, is recognized as the quietest in the industry and is ideal for a wide range of applications. Fiberglass tensile member reinforcement ensures high torque power transmission, minimal elongation, and high flexibility, while the high-quality chloroprene rubber compound provides excellent wear resistance and increased service life. A self-lubricating nylon fabric gives exceptional wear protection to the belt teeth. This profile is available in both single and double-sided (RPP DD) versions.
RPP and RPP DD Overview
-
Compound: Innovative chloroprene rubber compound reinforced with a special fiber and a hardness of 74 ShA
-
Cord: Fiberglass
-
Cover: Wear-resistant, self-lubricating nylon over the surface of the teeth
More economical than other rubber belt alternatives, these Megadyne belts offer resistance to grease, water, and various environmental agents in traditional machinery and power transmission applications requiring precise registration. MEGASYNC™ Imperial belts come in both single- and double-sided tooth structures, and they're beneficial because they do not require lubrication or maintenance.
Imperial Overview
-
Compound: Polychloroprene compound for accurate meshing with a hardness of 74 ShA
-
Cord: Fiberglass
-
Cover: Nylon fabric to cover and protect the teeth surface
