Pinlock Timing Belts Reduce Replacement Time from Hours to Minutes
Eatontown, NJ,
November 11, 2019 – Timing belt replacement is a routine part of machine
maintenance that can sometimes cause production delays. To significantly reduce downtime,
especially on conveying machines that might require complicated disassembly,
PinLock belts can be the perfect solution.
Depending on the complexity of the machine PinLock can reduce replacement time from several hours to less than one hour. To support the production of PinLock timing belts for 2020 BRECOflex will expand their manufacturing capacity to reduce PinLock lead times by 75%.
PinLock
belts use a precise waterjet-cut finger splice pattern in conjunction with
holes in the belt teeth and threaded pins that insert through the splice to connect
the belt. It comes in either six pin or ten pin construction, and assembles/disassembles
using only a screwdriver. You can view a demo video and get more information at

The
PinLock timing belts are ideal for many conveying applications because they
accommodate backings or profiles. The belts are currently available in T10,
T20, AT10 and AT20, T1/2" and HTD8. A chart of the maximum allowable
tensile strength is shown below.
