Exploring Megadyne’s Diverse Range of Industries Served

Megadyne manufactures a range of timing belts, V-belts, flat belts, and multi-ribbed belts for conveyance and power transfer applications. Belts are made from durable materials, including natural and synthetic rubber, polyurethane, EPDM, and other polymers, and can be reinforced with fiberglass, steel, or other cording material for added durability and stability. 

Megadyne belts support operations and equipment in various industries, including food production, automotive manufacturing, HVAC, logistics and warehousing, fitness, and construction. Keep reading to learn more.

Food Production

Food processing facilities employ belting products when working with the following products:

  • Baked goods such as cookies, crackers, and bread
  • Meats including pork, beef, and poultry
  • Seafood and fish
  • Agricultural products, including fruits and vegetables
  • Dairy and cheese
  • Confections such as chocolate and candy

Flat conveyor belts are widely used to move wet and dry food products and ingredients into and out of processing equipment and into inspection and packaging stations. Made from food-safe polyurethane, Megadyne’s food processing equipment belts are oil and fat-resistant and provide a slip-free yet clean-release surface for food. They are available in various widths and lengths.

Timing and V-belts control speed and torque in conveyance equipment and keep products moving at the correct speed. 

Automotive Manufacturing

Megadyne provides timing, drive, conveyor, and multi-ribbed belts for the automotive industry. Materials include natural and synthetic rubber, polyurethane, nylon, and other wear- and abrasion-resistant materials. Fiberglass, steel cord, carbon, and polyester tensioning materials can be added for reinforcement and dimensional stability.

Belts offer these features: 

  • Cut and abrasion resistance
  • Non-marking materials
  • Oil resistance
  • Joined or continuous, endless belt design
  • Contaminant-free and silicone-free materials available

Applications

Megadyne belts are used in many ways in automotive manufacturing, including conveyance, drive, and timing applications such as:

  • Assembly & handling of vehicle chassis, frame, and body
  • De-stacking of sheet metal
  • Fan systems
  • Inspection lines
  • Silicone-free belts for painting lines
  • Glass tempering lines
  • Conveyance for pick and place robotic systems
  • Conveyance of stamped or machined metal parts
  • Tire manufacturing

Three of our many timing belt options for the automotive industry include: 

  • MEGASYNC™ Silver3: The third generation of RPC Silver offers superior torque capacity. It features a fiber-loaded nitrile body, fiberglass cords, and nylon cover for low noise, low friction, and antistatic performance. Teeth are covered with graphite-embedded fabric. Many widths and tooth pitch options are available.
  • MEGASYNC™ Gold2: Gold 2 is a powerful alternative to Silver and RPP belts. It features a high-performance NBR body, K-glass cord, and single or dual-layer nylon cover. They are quiet, antistatic, and include a tooth-covering fabric embedded with graphite.
  • MEGASYNC™Titanium: This next-generation synchronous power transmission belt offers the highest power density on the market. Featuring a uniquely cross-linked HNBR elastomer belt body, 100% carbon cords, and special tooth facing fabric, this belt offers enhanced tooth rigidity and durability, low maintenance requirements, and superior performance for even the most demanding applications. 

HVAC and Appliances

Megadyne carries belts for the appliance and HVAC aftermarket industries. These belts are easily matched to OEM-specified belts to extend the service life of heating and cooling equipment, pumps, blowers, and other appliances.

The Dynamic-X V-belt is one of many drive belt options for HVAC and appliance applications. These are made with a cotton-polyester backing fabric, EPDM body, and polyester cords. They are non-slip, resistant to ozone, operate in low and high temperatures, and are static conductive. Cogs are specially designed for better performance with small-diameter pulleys and high-speed drives. 

Megadyne’s Accu-Link product is another beneficial solution for the HVAC and appliance industries. An alternative to traditional rubber V-belts, Accu-Link combines high durability and strength with fast and simple assembly and installation. The links are constructed with a polyurethane material that is reinforced by a multilayer woven polyester fabric. Its independent link design allows for smooth and quiet operation, and it can resist a variety of environmental factors, including chemicals, salt, grease, oils, and high/low temperatures. 

Logistics

Logistics facilities use conveyance equipment to transport products, boxes, and cases and powered equipment for lifting and moving heavy loads. With increased demand for short lead times and minimal downtime, reliable equipment is necessary. Megadyne belts help keep logistics equipment running smoothly and efficiently.

Our new elastic, ribbed rubber Rollpower™ belts are used in receiving lines, order picking, sorting, product transfers and diverters, and more. They feature excellent wear resistance and stable tension over time for long service life and smooth, quiet operation. The multi-rib design increases load capacity.

We also offer the MEGALINEAR MLRE-45, which is specifically designed to meet the demands of live rollers in automated warehouse systems. Constructed from polyurethane 85 ShA, this product features a high friction surface, high-strength aramid tensile members, a yellow finish for easy wear detection, and anti-static fabric for reduced friction and dust abrasion. These features combined with its high efficiency, low maintenance, and cost and energy savings make it a great choice for end-user intralogistics warehouse applications. 

Fitness

Fitness and exercise equipment must be strong, quiet, and smooth-running to meet consumer demand. Megadyne products play a critical role in powering the workout experience. Our efficient and well-designed belts can meet the high-level requirements of fitness applications, including treadmills, cross and elliptical trainers, exercise bikes, and more. 

Megadyne belts deliver a high level of durability and precision to meet the rigorous demands of modern workout equipment. Our fitness solutions include:

Construction

Megadyne belts are used in heavy equipment and construction machinery, from cement mixers to air compressors to earth-moving equipment. Our timing belts, V-belts, and ribbed belts are made from heavy-duty materials for excellent performance in challenging conditions. Materials include:

  • Kevlar
  • Carbon fiber
  • Fiberglass
  • Rubber
  • Urethane

Our Megasync™ Titanium belting material is also an option for heavy-duty construction applications. It features high power transfer capacity and can replace chains or belts in equipment. The material body is made from HNBR elastomer with carbon cords for dimensional stability. Specialized fabric bonds to the tooth surface to reduce friction and improve torque-carrying capacity and shearing resistance.
