Your Alternative Choice . . .

Made from high performance polyurethane elastomers reinforced with multiple plies of polyester fabric, Fenner Drives’ composite V-belts offer problem solving alternatives to conventional endless rubber V-belts of classical and metric SP wedge cross sections.

Our product range is comprised of PowerTwist Plus and NuTLink V-Belts for classical section drives and SuperTLink V-Belts for applications using metric wedge SP rated belts.

While simple in concept, Fenner Drives’ composite V-belts deliver outstanding performance, solving many of the field problems traditionally associated with conventional rubber V-belts.

Drop-In Replacements
Permanent Benefits
Longer Belt Life in Harsh Operating Conditions
Easier and Faster Installation
Reduced V-belt Inventory . . . Any Belt: Any Time
“Zero Downtime” Maintenance
Simplified Drive Design
Reduced Drive Vibration & System Noise
Solving Big Problems on Big Drives

Rest assured, when fitting PowerTwist Plus, NuTLink or SuperTLink V-Belts, it’s only the belt that changes . . . each type offers industry standard horsepower ratings and will run in standard pulley grooves . . . no need to change associated components!

Our V-belts are of unique designs and incorporate custom composite materials which provide a number of time and cost saving benefits to maintenance engineers and equipment designers:

• Longer belt life
• Easier and faster installation
• Reduced V-belt inventory
• “Zero Downtime” maintenance
• Simplified drive design
• Reduced drive vibration

Our V-belts are manufactured from a high performance polyurethane/polyester composite material which ensures excellent durability even in the most demanding conditions.

Fenner Drives’ composite V-belts will out perform conventional rubber V-belts in handling hostile environments, including exposure to oil, grease, water and most common industrial and agricultural chemicals and solvents. They are also more resistant to abrasion and will operate, with no loss in performance, at a more extreme temperature range – minus 40 degrees F to plus 240 degrees F.

Unique “quick connect” belt designs provide for easier and faster belt installation, even on captured or restricted access drives . . . no tools required.

Belts are easily made up to the required length, by hand, in seconds and can be rolled onto a drive just like a bicycle chain. No need to dismantle drive components or change existing pulleys as PowerTwist Plus, NuTLink and SuperTLink V-Belts run in industry standard pulley grooves.

With PowerTwist Plus, NuTLink and SuperTLink, there is no need to maintain inventory of numerous different endless rubber belts to cover all your drives. Carry a box each of A/4L and B/5L in your crib and you’re 90% covered with a significant reduction in working capital tied up in spares.

Like all power transmission belts, Fenner Drives’ composite V-belts may require retensioning after an initial “run in” period. But, unlike conventional V-belts, with PowerTwist Plus, NuTLink and SuperTLink, retensioning is a breeze; just roll a belt off, take out a link and roll it back on . . . no need to move any drive components . . . no tools; no time; no trouble.

The unique “quick connect” design of our Classical and SP rated composite V-belts allow designers considerable freedom in their choice of optimum drive configuration and placement with resultant savings in component costs and assembly times.

As PowerTwist Plus, NuTLink and SuperTLink are effectively self tensioning on installation and exhibit low operational stretch, there is no need to incorporate belt tensioners and sliding motor bases into drive designs. Additionally, drives can be optimally mounted on/in equipment where such positioning would be impossible with conventional V-belts when considering ease of subsequent field maintenance. Plus, Fenner Drives’ composite V-belts can be used on misaligned or angled pulleys up to 17.5 degrees without significant reduction in belt life.

PowerTwist Plus, NuTLink and SuperTLink do not incorporate continuous tension cords as found in conventional V-belts. As a result, transmitted vibration in the drive system can be reduced by 50% or more. System noise is consequently reduced and, as a bonus, bearing life extended.

In addition to the common industry standard belt cross sections, NuTLink is available in larger belt profiles up to F/50mm! An ideal solution for heavy industrial equipment where replacement belts are either obsolete or expensive made to order items with excessive minimum order quantities.
