PULLEY MANUFACTURING
BRECOflex CO
The only domestic source for perfect meshing timing belts and pulleys.
BRECOflex CO. the pioneer and world leader in the polyurethane timing belt industry, is offering a wide range of finished precision metal pulleys, as well as high precision timing belts to meet the highest customer expectations. We are proud to announce their newly expanded production facility for the domestic manufacture of made-to-order pulleys.
The perfect meshing of timing belt and pulley teeth is crucial for satisfactory performance and long service life of any belt drive. Therefore, sourcing both timing belts and matching timing pulleys from BRECOflex CO. as your single source provider is your assurance for perfect belt – pulley performance.
The CNC state of the art pulley manufacture allows for very precise machining standards, leading to superior product quality and quick product availability. We can provide finished precision pulleys made-to-specification, and stock pulleys, with pilot bores, for immediate delivery. Made-to-order pulleys are available with standard tooth gap and with reduced or zero (0) backlash tooth configuration. See Page 8 in the pulley catalog for details. The pulleys can be flanged as required by the application.

BELT TENSION METER SM5
The SM5 Universal Tension Meter is designed to measure the static tension of all belt types and materials, and offers the following benefits :
-
Simple one-button operation
-
Accurate measurement results for optimal belt performance and life
-
Save production and down time with quick readings
-
Satisfy quality system requirements with traceable certification
-
Integrates with our online calculation program - www.brecoflex.com
The purpose of pre-tensioning a belt is to maintain tension at all times throughout the belt during operation and depends on the belt drive type and peak loading. Minimizing pretension reduces bearing and shaft loading and preserves belt tensile safety factors. Minimum pre-tension is achieved when the belt does not sag or flap under peak running load. Maximum pre-tension is limited by the belt strength and machine design (shafts, bearings and frame).

NEW ! BRECOFLEXmove AT10
With BRECOFLEXmove AT10, BRECO has created a new high-performance belt that offers a 30% higher transmittable peripheral force than the standard BRECOFLEX-AT belt. With the same boundary conditions it offers 30% higher reliability and can be reduced in width by 30% compared to the standard version, allowing a more compact design and offering additional cost benefits.
BRECOFLEXprotect
BRECOprotect blue polyurethane timing belts are the perfect choice for high demands in the food industry. They are perfectly suited for damp environments and contact with sensitive products. The steel cord tension members are completely embedded in the polyurethane and protected against corrosion. This protects them against the effects of hydrolysis, therefore preventing the necessity of premature, expensive timing belt replacement. Meets FDA, EC, CEE and CE regulations.
