Radius & Side-Flexing Plastic Modular Belts

Radius belts are selected as part of a curved conveyor system. Belt width, inside radius, curve angle, guide profile and drive location all influence whether the belt can follow the path. A straight-running belt with the same nominal pitch is not automatically a substitute.The radius comparison range includes a 25 mm pitch configuration with 52% open area and 25.4 mm pitch radius configurations with 47% or 55% open-area examples. These values are useful starting points for family selection; exact radius capability, width, materials and load/speed limits must be confirmed for the ordered configuration.Curve data requiredInputWhy it mattersBelt widthWorks with the family-specific radius relationshipInside radiusDefines the turn requirementCurve angleDefines total path through the guideGuide / wear interfaceCarries lateral forcesDrive location and sprocketsControls positive engagement through the systemReplacement tipSend a plan-view sketch and photographs of the inner and outer guide path.
