Matters needing attention when storing the timing belt
PU timing belt is made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which has high strength, high elongation and high elasticity, excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, low temperature resistance and aging resistance. However, under some extreme environmental conditions, the normal service life will be affected. In order to ensure the use effect of the timing belt, it is necessary to do a good job of storage, so that the timing belt has a longer service life.
How do you store a timing belt?
1. Avoid stress
The timing belt cannot be squeezed under heavy pressure for a long time, because long-term pressure will cause the timing belt to deform or the tension rope to break, so it is necessary to ensure that there is no pressure of any kind when placed in storage. If the timing belt has been installed on the mechanical equipment, it is recommended to loosen the tension when it is not used for a long time, so as to avoid deformation of the timing belt due to excessive pressurewhich will affect the normal transmission of the equipment in the future.
2. Ambient temperature
During the storage of the timing belt, there are requirements for the storage environment. Usually, the temperature needs to be stable between -15 and 40 degrees Celsius, and the humidity should be kept within the range of 50% to 80%. The storage environment needs to meet the above requirements. The mentioned requirements can ensure the normal use of the timing belt.
3. Avoid aging
During the storage process, the timing belt should try to avoid direct sunlight, rain and snow, and avoid contact with acid and alkali substances, which will cause aging or even damage to the timing belt.affect the service life.
