Accu-Link consists of a <strong>chain of polyurethane links that are reinforced by high-quality multilayer woven polyester<\/strong>. Accu-Link was initially developed to serve as a fast, easy-to-install replacement for traditional V-belts in the event of a break, but new materials and manufacturing process improvements now make today\u2019s Accu-Link a <strong>viable alternative for all comparable standard V-belt applications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Key Features and Advantages<\/h2>\n\n<p>The main attributes that make <a href=\"https:\/\/megadynegroup.com\/en\/products\/v-belts\/banded-linked-v-belts\/accu-link%C2%AE\">Accu-Link<\/a> a comparable performance product with superior benefits include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Easy assembly.&nbsp;<\/strong>The design allows for a simple and fast assembly by hand in seconds without the use of tools.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Easy installation. <\/strong>Accu-Link has an adaptable design and can be easily installed on V-belt drives that are hard to access or difficult to take apart. Accu-Link can be installed open and joined on the drive. Alternatively, Accu-Link can be made endless and rolled onto the drive.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Reduced inventory size.&nbsp;<\/strong>Any length of classical V-belt can be attained with just one roll of Accu-Link. Not having to stock individual belt sizes in various lengths results in inventories that are smaller, less costly, and easier to manage.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>High power rate.&nbsp;<\/strong>Accu-Link power ratings are comparable to that of traditional V-belts.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Resistance to harsh conditions.<\/strong> The Accu-Link belt is composed of Polyurethane, which is capable of withstanding exposure to chemicals, salts, oils, and grease, facilitating an extended lifespan relative to traditional rubber counterparts.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Broad temperature tolerances.&nbsp;<\/strong>Accu-Link functions in temperatures ranging from -25\u00b0 C to 80\u00b0 C (-13\u00b0 F to 176\u00b0 F).<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Tolerance of harsh environments.&nbsp;<\/strong>When exposed to tough or abrasive environments, Accu-Link wears better and lasts longer than traditional rubber V-belts.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Quiet and smooth operation.&nbsp;<\/strong>The innovative manufacturing process used to make the links allows for smooth and precise side profiles, which translates to a quieter and smoother belt with fewer vibrations than traditional rubber V-belts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Additional features and advantages of the Accu-Link belt include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Durable urethane impregnation<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Rugged polyester fabric<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Adjustable link construction<\/strong> and easy length modifications<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Versatile, adaptable, and interchangeable design<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li>Horsepower capacity <strong>equivalent to conventional V-belts<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li>Perfect for <strong>reducing belt vibration<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Clean running<\/strong>; no cracking; no black dusting<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Heat-dissipating construction<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li>Can be used&nbsp;in <strong>conveying applications<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li>Functional on <strong>counter bend drive layouts<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Perfect for emergencies and service environments<\/strong> where always having the right belt size is necessary<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Can be rolled drive sheaves<\/strong> (no cord to damage)<\/li>\n\t<li>Can be used in <strong>single V-belt or multiple V-belt<\/strong> applications<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Runs cooler<\/strong> than conventional V-belts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Industries and Applications<\/h2>\n\n<p>Given its unique and adaptable link style, <strong>the Accu-Link belt can be used for virtually any drive application.<\/strong> Manufacturing and service industries today rely on link belts for use on problematic drives and in harsh operating conditions. <strong>Accu-Link is also fast and easy to install<\/strong>, making it the superior design choice for preventative maintenance and emergency repairs.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some of the most common applications of the Accu-Link V-belt include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Marine industry<\/strong>. Accu-Link is composed of durable and long-lasting materials capable of withstanding salt, grease, and other harsh elements associated with marine environments.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Poultry industry<\/strong>. The Accu-Link belt can endure the dirty and potentially harsh operating conditions associated with poultry farming.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Agriculture industry<\/strong>. Engineered to withstand challenging environments, the Accu-Link belt is ideal for many agriculture-related applications.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Glass industry<\/strong>. In glass manufacturing, the non-marking Accu-Link belt is preferable over standard V-belts, which frequently leave stains or marks on products.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Air handling<\/strong>. Quick and easy installation makes Accu-Link a convenient option for use in air handler units. It is also clean running and a perfect choice for air handling in sensitive environmental applications.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Metal and woodworking machines<\/strong>. Accu-Link is designed to enable a reduction in vibration and noise, making it ideal for metal and woodworking applications.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Rolling conveyor<\/strong>. Accu-Link belts are superior to standard V-belts in their ability to tolerate pulley misalignment.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Tile and marble conveyors<\/strong>. The conveyor process for tile and marble manufacturing can be harsh and abrasive on belts, causing undue wear early in their service life. Accu-Link belts are built to tolerate such conditions and can endure longer than standard V-belts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Accu-Link Adjustable V-Belts From Megadyne<\/h2>\n\n<p>Accu-link is <strong>strong, long-lasting, and built to endure a wide range of V-belt drive applications.<\/strong> Whether you are looking for an easily installed product for fast emergency repairs or a strong and dependable product for everyday drive applications, Accu-Link will keep your operations running <strong>smoothly and efficiently<\/strong>.
