Custom Metal Friction Drive Belts

PureSteel^® endless metal belts are created by welding each end of the metal tape to form an endless loop. High energy beam welding is used to create a seamless belt that is extremely strong and smooth.

Belt motion is created by tensioning the belt between two or more pulleys. The tensioning force creates sufficient friction to drive the belt with the drive pulley.

Custom metal friction drive belts are the simplest, lowest cost solution in applications requiring relatively lower precision, such as:

• Conveying 
• Heat sealing 
• Casting 
• Imaging 

Metrak^©—Accurate Tracking

A Metrak^© belt employs a V belt bonded to the inner circumference of the metal belt. The v-guide mates with a channel in the pulley to provide stable tracking throughout the life of the belt. The Metrak system will provide lateral tracking accuracies of less than 0.5 mm.

When Precision Is Essential, Consider a Timing Belt 

If your application requires exact positioning and synchronized motion, a PureSteel^® Timing Belt may be a better fit. Contact Belt Technologies today to determine whether a custom metal friction drive belt or another high-performance steel belt solution best meets your needs.
