Note: | Due to the humidity factor, an additional correction factor of ± 0.5% of the measured dimension is required for belts constructed of polyamide materials. | |
For belts made with cleats and guides, an additional 0.15% of the belt length must be allowed on the negative side of the overall tolerance. |
Although the thickness tolerance for different products varies depending on the overall thickness, material composition and surface structure of a belt, tolerances for rubber covered nylon core belts can be held considerably tighter than leather covered products. Since leather is a natural product, it is more difficult to control the outcome of the end product's nominal thickness. Usually, leather covered flat power transmission belts vary in thickness no more than ±0.01in. for single sided leather belts, and ±0.015in. for double sided leather products. However, it does happen on rare occasion, that a leather covered product falls just outside this range and is not considered to be faulty. |
