MEDWAY MEGACHAIN

MEDWAY MEGACHAIN timing belts can truly be considered a reliable, lower-maintenance, and economical alternative to drive systems equipped with chains and gears.

Due to their state-of-the-art materials MEDWAY MEGACHAIN belts are recommended for efficient, compact drives, which experience high torque loading and permit the designer much greater flexibility by offering the following advantages:

Increase in power load capacity by up to 125% compared to standard timing belts.

Uses existing pulleys, which maintains functional interchangeability with other deep-profile systems such as HTD.

Allows existing systems to be upgraded without the necessity of replacing the pulleys.

MEDWAY MEGACHAIN is one of the quietest drive belt systems available on the market today. In addition to this, they also offer the following advantages:

Further reduction of noise by reduced belt widths due to the higher performance rating of the system.

Rubber construction offers low noise characteristics compared to other drive systems that use polyurethane, steel, etc.

The use of smaller pulleys creates lower belt speeds and thereby less noise.

Superior Antistatic Properties conforming to ISO 9563. Temperature range -25°C to + 80°C.

Structure

MEDWAY MEGACHAIN is constructed with materials of the highest quality and strength. Extensive development performed by Research & Development has resulted in superior torque capacity.

The Belt Body
It is formed by an innovative compound. This crosslinked elastomer increases resistance to tooth shearing by up to 25% in comparison to the previous belts. This compound guarantees an exceptional level of resistance to flex fatigue, preventing the appearance of cracks, and is also formulated to better resist mineral oils, heat, and ozone actions.

Tension Members
The glass fibre tensile members are the load-carrying elements. Thanks to the excellent characteristics of this cord, MEDWAY MEGACHAIN has superior tension stability in static and dynamic conditions.

Tooth Fabric
A hard-wearing nylon fabric is bonded to the tooth surface to improve torque-carrying capacity. In addition, a special graphite impregnation process transfers self-lubricating action and increases belt efficiency.

Features

An improved belt performance results from the adoption of this system, which can be summarised as follows.

• Increase in power load capacity up to 125% compared to standard timing belts.

• Uses existing pulleys, which maintains functional interchangeability with other deep-profile systems such as HTD.

• Superior Antistatic Properties conforming to ISO 9563

• Rubber construction offer low noise characteristics
compared to other drive systems that use polyurethane, steel, etc.

• The use of smaller pulleys creates lower belt speeds and
thereby less noise

• Temperature range -25°C to + 80°C
