Pásové

Pásové is a Czech adjective derived from pás, meaning belt, strip, or track. It is used to describe devices, systems, or structures that employ a continuous belt or track in their operation or construction.

In technical and engineering language, pásové refers most often to track-based or belt-based mechanisms. A pásové vozidlo is a vehicle that travels on continuous tracks rather than wheels, offering improved stability and mobility on soft or uneven terrain. Typical examples include tanks, bulldozers, and some excavators. Pásové systems are valued for lower ground pressure, better traction, and the ability to distribute weight over a larger area.

Another common use is in conveying technology: pásový dopravník, or conveyor belt, which moves materials along a production line or through a processing facility. Conveyors are used across manufacturing, mining, and logistics to transfer bulk goods efficiently. The term can also appear in the context of power transmission, with pásový pohon describing a belt-driven mechanism that transmits rotational motion from a motor to a driven component, such as in some machinery or automotive systems.

Etymologically, pásové forms align with other Czech adjectives formed from a noun to indicate a characteristic associated with that noun. In usage, the precise meaning of pásové is determined by the noun it modifies (for example, vozidlo, dopravník, pohon). The term is primarily encountered in technical, industrial, and mechanical contexts.
