Chain Driven Belts

Chainweave Belts

The belts are used to secure an absolute straight drive, provide additional strength, and obtain positive speed control. This construction is used where positive drive and definite belt speed control is imperative and where belt slippage and tracking, usually present on friction drives, would cause faulty operation.

Penn Wire chain driven belts can be designed to your requirements in a wide variety of types. There are three basic components of a chainweave belt: fabric, cross-support members, and chain.
