Drive Elements

The sprocket acts as a mechanical element within transport or chain belt systems and is designed to provide direct, reliable power transmission without slippage. The combination with a chain belt, the sprocket ensures a positive connection between the shaft and the belt, enabling the system to achieve constant and accurate movement.

Specifications

Drive Elements: In-House production means they always fit perfectly with the belt and the application. For Eyelink belts (OGB-L & OGB) they offer 3 drive options

• Tubular Drums: Are solid and equipped with milled teeth. This make them hygienic, extremely rigid, and suitable for heavy loads
• Cage Drums: Have an open construction with welded discs and strips. (ideal for installations with heavy loads)
• Drive Wheels: Are equipped with a special profile that ensures optimal power transmission and slip-free drive

For drive belts Tribelt also offer both friction and gear drives. With the Clear-Trac belt, for example, the positive gear prevents belt slip and keeps the belt running straight, even with large increases in width or length. Gears are available in POM or stainless steel with options for bore, keyway and locking.

Applications

• Eyelink Belts: Drive wheel are often used foe light loads, for example baking ovens, cooling and freezing tunnels, and cleaning installations. For heavier processes, such as industrial ovens, they recommend tube or cage drums
• Spiral Belts: Gear dives are used where a straight, stable run is required and slippage must be avoided at all costs
• Tri-Flex Belts: Gears in combination with drums ensure maximum grip and trouble-free operation, with drum and gear speeds perfectly matched

Benefits

With Tribelt producing all their gears in-house, the possibilities are endless. They can customise each gear to suit your belt, material, dimensions and load requirements. This results in optimal performance and a long service life for your belt. In addition their sprockets ensure smooth drive, hygienic operation (for tube drums), high load capacity (for cage drums) and completely slip-free drive (for drive wheels and ClearTrac applications).

Available Options

Drive Elements for Eyelink Belts: Eyelink belts have an open structure and require a precise drive that prevents slippage.

• Material: Plastic (lightweight and wear-resistant) or steel/stainless steel (durable and hygienic) 
• Number of Teeth: Tailored to the belt pitch for smooth power transmission
• Design: Single or double disc, depending on belt width and load

Drive Elements for Balanced Weave Belts: Balanced weave belts are often used in cooling and baking processes, where stability and hygiene are essential.
