Maximum efficiency on the spindle: How to reduce energy costs with flat belts
Why flat belts are the better choice for automatic lathes
Conventional V-belts often reach their limits in modern production environments – whether due to friction losses or space requirements. Our high-performance flat belts offer a technological shortcut to greater efficiency:
- 99% efficiency: Virtually loss-free power transmission directly to the spindle.
- Energy savings of up to 10%: Compared to V-belt drives, you can massively reduce your carbon footprint and electricity costs – a decisive competitive advantage in times of rising energy prices.
- Low bending forces: This not only saves money, but also protects the bearings of your machines.
Compact, clean, durable
Our flat belt drives are extremely compact and offer twice the service life of standard solutions. For you, this means less downtime, less maintenance and higher machine availability.
Unlimited areas of application: Whether main spindle drives, high-pressure pumps for coolant supply or complex blower systems – with a power range from 0.1 kW to 100 kW, we cover almost every application in the production hall.
