INTRODUCTION
TO TRULY ENDLESS BELT
Megadyne commenced manufacturing transmission belts in 1957 and extruding
polyurethane endless belts in 1990. MEGAFLEX belts are manufactured in
thermoplastic polyurethane, which gives superior wear and abrasion resistance.
Various grades of steel cords offer good running characteristics even with high
tractive load. Great production flexibility grant to designers the possibility to
match any technical requirement and solution. By selecting different components
and materials, MEGAFLEX belts can be manufactured to meet every customer
requirement.
Megadyne has expanded the MEGAFLEX range to include:
MEGAFLEX FCM, MEGAFLEX XMD

On request and with a minimum quantity, it’s possible to produce MEGAFLEX
FCM, made in sky blue colour (RAL 5012) and certified for direct contact with
dry and wet food.
MEGAFLEX FCM can be made with a special metal and X-ray detectable
compound. MEGAFLEX XMD decreases the risk of contamination from belt
fragments protecting consumer’ safety.
MEGAFLEX MEGAECO BIOBASED

MEGAFLEX MegaEco Biobased is part of the Megadyne MegaEco range, the
sustainable belt solution for power transmission systems. Made with polymer
coming partially from vegetable sources, this “eco-friendly” belt can support
companies to reduce their CO 2 footprint.

CLASSIFICATIONS
CLASSIFICATIONS
MEGAFLEX timing belts are manufactured in thermoplastic polyurethane, with
single helicoidal steel cords. This type of belts, developed by our Research &
Development, offer good running characteristics and high-traction loads. They
are especially suited for power transmissions and conveying with high loads
and speeds. The addition of a nylon coating on the teeth during production
enhances the running properties for specific applications and reduces the noise
thanks to a lower frictional coefficient. On the back of the belt an extra thickness
of special coating is also possible, offering extra protection against aggressive
or heavy products.
1. The body of the belts is made of a white thermoplastic polyurethane 92

ShA, characterized by high levels of wear resistance even in the presence of
shock and surge loading; special compound on request (see on page 49).
2. High-strength helicoidal zinked steel tension members allow high-breaking
load and extremely low elongation. The combination of these high-grade
materials improves belt performance, which can be summarised as follows:
• exceptional resistance to abrasion and tooth shear

• low coefficient of friction
• high flexibility
• ozone and temperature resistance (-25 °C / +80 °C)
• oil, grease, and gasoline resistance.
MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL

CHARACTERISTICS
• Constant dimensions

CHARACTERISTICS
BODY
MEGAFLEX belts are manufactured with white thermoplastic Polyurethane 92
ShA as standard.
Special compounds (different hardness, special properties) are available on

request. Special compound and cords have to be tested and homologated
on the application. Megadyne is not responsible for the wrong functioning of
special product. Here under some PU characteristics:
WATER
No problem in normal or sea clean water, at room temperature.
Over 60 ºC there is a fast decrement of breaking strength.
ACIDS
In acid diluted proportions, at room temperature, this PU is moderately
attacked. In high-concentration acid solutions, this PU has a very short lifespan.
Over 50 ºC, acids are always dangerous for Thermoplastic PU.
ALKALIS
In alkalis diluted proportions, at room temperature, this PU is moderately
attacked. In high-concentration alkaline solutions, this PU has a very short
lifespan. Over 50 ºC, alkalis are always dangerous for Thermoplastic PU.
SOLVENTS
Thermoplastic PU is insoluble in the greater part of solvents. Only the very polar
solvents (like tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, n-methylpyrrolidone) can
dissolve or tight damage PU. The Esters or the Ketons (such as ethyl acetate
or methylethylketene) can usually produce a bulge, decreasing mechanical
characteristics. Aromatic Hydrocarbons and aliphatic Hydrocarbons produce
very high bulge. All effects increase by increasing temperatures.
OILS
PU has a high resistance to mineral pure oils (lubricants, engine oils, combustible
oils). Usually, high-performance synthetic oils, due to special additives contained,
can be incompatible with Thermoplastic PU, especially at high temperatures.
GREASES
PU has a high resistance to mineral pure greases (lubricating greases). Usually,
high-performance synthetic greases, due to special additives contained, can
be incompatible with Thermoplastic PU, especially at high temperatures.
FUELS
Good resistance to petrol without alcohol. In presence of alcohol, Thermoplastic
PU can suffer deterioration. Fuels, including aromatic stuff, can produce
reversible bulges.
MICROORGANISMS
In presence of grime, containing humidity, microorganisms can develop. In
the event that microbial attack could pose a danger, you must use a special
kind of PU.
WEATHER AGENTS
Good resistance to atmospheric agents. White colour can change into light
yellow under long UV exposure. In any case this hasn’t influence on mechanical
properties.

CORDS
STANDARD CORD
MEGAFLEX is manufactured with helicoidal zinked steel cords as standard.
KEVLAR ®
Kevlar ® tension cords are suggested in:
• Non-magnetic, for use in drives with metal detectors

• Food industry
• Applications in damp environments must be avoided
Kevlar ® cord belts have a lower dimensional stability compared to steel-cord

belts. Length and tolerance may change.
HP
High Performance cords have 25% more strength capacity than standard
cords. They are recommended for high-repeatability applications.
HF
High Flexibility cords can accept smaller pulley and idler diameters than standard
cords. They are suitable for multi-shaft drives with severe reverse bending.
HPF
High Performance and Flexibility cords have 25% more strength capacity, like
the HP cords, but they are more flexible than the HP cords. They are suggested
for high-performance and multi-shaft drives.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel cords have 25% less strength capacity than standard cords.
They are recommended for water applications.

CALCULATION EXAMPLE
CHOICE OF BELT PITCH, LENGTH AND PULLEY

According to the belt pitch selection, table n.1 on page 11, considering the
value of P and RPM, we select RPP5.
Then we consider the nearest pulley diameter to the requested value and
the corresponding n. of teeth (see technical information on page 29).
Therefore z 1 = 30 teeth (d 1 = 47,75 mm) and z 2 = z 1 • 2 = 60 (d 2 = 95,49 mm).
Belt length is L = 2c+1,57 (d 1 + d 2) + [(d 2 - d 1)² / 4c] = 2 • 900 + 1,57 • (47,75
+ 95,49) + (95,49-47,75)² / (4 • 900) = 2025,5 mm.
Because of this, the actual center distance will be:

BELT INSTALLATION
A major difficulty installing transmis-

sion belts is to achieve the correct belt
tension. The lifetime of the support
bearings and transmission belts and,
therefore, the reliability of the complete
system largely depend on an optimally
adjusted belt tension.
Pretension is the force needed to put

tension into the system to avoid the belt Not correct belt installation
jumping the pulleys as in the example
beside:
For a correct system installation, all applications with the MEGAFLEX belt can
be summarized according to the following cases:

Mt = Fu · r

Mt = Fu · r

Power transmission Conveyor transmission
In power transmission application, the pretension force is the load which has to
be applied to the center of one of the driving system’s pulleys in static conditions
to avoid the derailing of the belt:

z < 60 Fv = • Fu

• Fu =

• Fv =

• β = π - 2 arcsen
p (zL - zS)
2•c [ ]
For omega and conveyor transmission: Fp = Fu
In omega application, to grant good mesh between the pulley and the teeth
and to respect belt flexibility avoiding excessive stress on the cord, we suggest
d = 4* belt width and angle γ = 120°.
MEGAFLEX
BELT INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE TO MEASURE
The procedure to measure the tension of the belt is to use belt tensioning
equipment. This device consists of a small sensing head, which is held across
the belt to be measured. The belt is then tapped to induce its vibration at its
natural frequency. The vibrations are detected by the sensing head and the
frequency of vibration is displayed on the measuring unit. The relation between
the belt static tension (T s) and the frequency of vibration (f) may be calculated
using the following formula:
f=
1
2t
•
√ Ts
m
or Ts = 4 • m • t2 • f2
WHERE :
TS = static tension (N) f = Frequency of vibration in Hertz (Hz)

m = Belt mass per unit length (kg/m) t = Free belt span length in meters (m)
For a correct system functioning and to increase the life of the belt, it is
necessary a correct pulley installation: pulleys have to be parallel and aligned,
as shown in drawing 1 (correct configuration). If pulleys are not parallel like in
drawing 2, belt could fall during functioning and this can damage the complete
equipment.
To grant a correct belt running, α and Δx must be as small as possible. For

more information, please contact our technical staff.

MEGAFLEX
POSITIONING
AND TRANSMISSION PRECISION
Backlash between the belt and the pulley teeth is very important for positioning
precision and transmission synchronism.
To improve transmission precision, it is possible to use zero or reduced backlash

pulleys. Please note that these pulleys don’t reduce the elasticity of the belt
teeth or cords.
The maximum recommended pulley teeth are:
Till 100 1/min Z=40

Till 500 1/min Z=30
Till 1000 1/min Z=20
Standard engagement “Zero” backlash engagement
In following table, there is a list of the average values for backlashes:

RPP belts and pulleys offer great solutions for positioning systems because
their parabolic profile reduces backlash and improves meshing quality.

CLEATS
Megadyne’s timing belts can be customised with profiles welded on the

backside. All the cleats are made using the same thermoplastic polyurethane
as the MEGAFLEX body (white PU 92 ShA).
The profiles are attached with the best technology available, the High Vibration
System.
The production process for these profiles is very flexible; Megadyne can design
any profile to meet the specific requirement of the customer, in order to check
and develop all the needed special profiles.
STANDARD PARALLELEPIPED PROFILES

Megadyne can produce, as standard cleats, the parallelepiped profiles, starting
from a thermoplastic polyurethane strip roll and cutting to the requested profile
dimension.
The t value (thickness) is available from 2 to 13 mm, the h value (height) can
be from 3 to 120 mm and the width can be 150 mm maximum.
n • p +/– 0,8 mm/m

Megadyne recommends that the profile spacing were multiple of the belt pitch;
in any case, for special inquiries and small quantities, it is also possible to
t +/– 0,5
weld the profiles in other positions; the feasible dimensions, with the standard
process tolerances, are introduced in the following sketch.
h +/– 0,5 The tolerances on the position are ± 0.5 mm.
The cumulative tolerance on the spacing of the profiles is the same as the
length tolerance of our standard belts (± 0.8 mm/m) (tighter tolerances are
available on request).
Due to the welding process, a bead of material develops at the meeting point
of the profile and the belt.
In any case, Megadyne always removes this welding bead.
t PROFILE MECHANICAL RESISTANCE

In order to find the right cleat dimensions, please consider the following factors:
w
R
• Section base cleats resistance (R) becomes bigger, increasing:
• Cleats width (w)
• Cleats thickness (t)
• Cleat stiffness is bigger:
• Increasing cleat thickness (t)
• Using special moulded profiles, like STDE0006, STDE0008,
STDE0010 and STMI0012 types
MEGAFLEX
CLEATS
MINIMUM NUMBER OF PULLEY TEETH FOR BELTS WITH PROFILES

The profiles presence can change the belt flexibility properties; the two factors
that affect the original flexibility are the following:
• Thickness of the cleat “foot“ (size of the base). Flexibility decreases when
the welded area dimensions increase.
• Position of the welded profile on the belt. When the cleats are welded in
the axis with the teeth, the belt flexibility is better than when cleats are
welded in the axis with the little nose.
Please find, in the following table, the flexibility properties of cleated belts.

ANTISTATIC POLYURETHANE
TIMING BELTS
Megadyne now offers antistatic belts. Under certain conditions, a polyurethane
belt may build up a significant static electric charge. For applications where
belts are intended for operation in a potentially explosive atmosphere or near
electrical components, polyurethane belts should be sufficiently conductive to
dissipate this electrical charge. Belts can be constructed (using proper nylon
fabric coating) with a relatively low electrical resistance characteristic and are
typically referred to as “static conductive” surfaces or “antistatic” surfaces.
The test methods for determining the surface resistive properties of a belt are
based on ISO 9563, “Belt Drives - Electrical Conductivity of Anti-static Endless
Synchronous Belts - Characteristics and Test Method”. To be antistatic the
electrical resistance, in ohms, of a belt measured in accordance with the test
method of norm ISO 9563, should not exceed:
(6 • 105) • L
Resistance = Ω =
W
where:
• L = is the dry distance between electrodes (7 grooves, 6 teeth

between contacts)
• W = is the width of the belt
L and W are expressed in the same units (mm or inches).

Megadyne’s antistatic belts are produced with black polyurethane as standard.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• PC boards or other electronic assemblies industry
• Semiconductor processing
• Paper industry
• Power transmission applications in the textile industry
• Chemical environment power transmissions
• Clean room power transmissions

SPECIAL EXECUTION
FEASIBILITY
Megadyne can make special extrusions on customer request to improve the
belt’s properties and to suit better to special applications.
SPECIAL POLYURETHANE
On customer request and with a minimum quantity, MEGAFLEX belt can be
produced with different hardness:
• 90 ShA food quality polyurethane for contact with Food and medical products
• PU blue FCM certified for contact with food
• PU dark blue XMD (Metal and X-ray detectable)
• 92 ShA silicon free for painting system
• 95 ShA glass reinforced
• 98 ShA extra hard polyurethane
• 92 ShA higher resistance to temperature
COLOUR
On customer request and with a minimum quantity, is possible to produce
MEGAFLEX with several colours. A different colour doesn’t influence the belt‘s
technical properties, thence the mechanical features are the same as the
standard white belt.
Available colours are: • White • Black • Blue • Yellow • Transparent • Grey
BIFILAR CORDS
On request, all MEGAFLEX range can be manufactured with bifilar twisting

cords.
SPECIAL THICKNESS AND BACK GRINDING
All MEGAFLEX belts back are grinded. Sometimes additional grinding may be
required to achieve a precise belt thickness as an adjunction to drive’s precision.
When belt back grinding tolerance is required, the total thickness, including
the tooth, must be specified. A grinding tolerance of +/-0,2 mm is achievable
with a good finish level (i.e. the thickness will not vary greatly around the belt).
On request, it is possible to produce MEGAFLEX with extra thickness. Most
widths and lengths are available.
MEGAFLEX
SPECIAL EXECUTION
FEASIBILITY
LONGITUDINAL REWORK
Longitudinal rework along the belt’s back is possible on covered and uncovered
belts. The profile can be machined precisely for the required function. The
measurement is given by the depth on the belt’s back. Most widths and lengths
are available.
REWORK ON BELT TEETH

The rework of the tooth profile can be very useful, i.e. improving the steering
effect with guide rails. The rework dimension is given from the top of the tooth.
Most belt widths and lengths are available.
HOLES IN TIMING BELTS

Holes in timing belts can be for vacuum or air film conveying or as clearance
for assembly mechanisms. Stops and cams can be attached through the holes.
Customized tooling may be required depending on the layout and dimensions
of the holes required.
SINGLE TOOTH REMOVAL

Single and multiple tooth removal is available to your requirement, for
applications in handling and conveying technology.
MEGAFLEX
COVER PROPERTIES
MEGAFLEX belt can be coated with several materials. Those coatings are able
to suit MEGAFLEX belts to all applications. The main advantages of using coated
belts are the reduction of noise and the modification of the friction in conveying
materials. The choice of the correct coating depends on the application field.
Megadyne is able to supply extruded coated belts; in this case, the coating
method is the same as the belt production method and the cohesion between
the belt and the cover is guaranteed by welding without the use of glue.
