Belt seals (or belt clamps) are a type of sealing element used in mechanical systems. They are generally used in shaft or belt systems that rotate to prevent oil, water, air and other liquids or gases from leaking. Belt seals also prevent foreign particles (dust, dirt, water, etc.) from entering the system.
Areas of Use of Belt Seals:
Automotive Industry: Used to protect engine parts, transmissions and axles in vehicles.
Industrial Machines: Prevents oil or grease leakage in rotating parts.
Agricultural Machines: To provide resistance to external environmental conditions.
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems: To prevent liquid and gas leaks.
Benefits:
Provides Sealing: Increases the efficiency of systems.
Prevents Wear: Extends the life of moving parts.
Provides Protection: Prevents foreign substances from entering the system.
Reduces Maintenance Costs: Provides long-term use and prevents malfunctions.
Belt seals are manufactured from different materials (e.g. rubber, silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)) depending on the area of use and needs. The type to be used depends on factors such as temperature, pressure and chemical resistance.
