Hammasvööga

Hammasvööga, also known as a gear belt or toothed belt, is a type of mechanical power transmission system used in various industrial and automotive applications. Unlike traditional flat belts, hammasvööga features teeth on one or both sides, which engage with corresponding grooves in pulleys or sprockets. This design allows for precise control of rotational speed and torque transfer, making it ideal for applications requiring accurate synchronization.

The primary advantage of hammasvööga is its ability to maintain consistent tension and alignment, reducing slippage compared to flat belts. This makes it suitable for high-speed and high-torque applications, such as in automotive timing systems, conveyor belts, and machinery drives. Additionally, hammasvööga is known for its durability and low maintenance requirements, as it operates with minimal friction and wear when properly lubricated.

Hammasvööga comes in various materials, including rubber, polyurethane, and reinforced synthetic fibers, depending on the application. The choice of material affects factors such as flexibility, load capacity, and resistance to environmental conditions like heat, oil, or chemicals. Proper installation and regular inspection are essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity, as misalignment or excessive wear can lead to premature failure.

Common uses of hammasvööga include timing systems in internal combustion engines, where it synchronizes the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft, and in industrial machinery for transmitting power between shafts. Its efficiency and reliability make it a preferred choice in many mechanical systems where precise motion control is required.
