The objective of ATEX is to ensure the free movement of Ex products within the European Union by offering one harmonized compliance procedure accepted by all EU countries.

The Directive removes barriers to trade by defining Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) for Ex equipment.

FRAS Belts are Fire Resistant Antistatic Belts designed to meet local fire retardancy standards and reduce static electricity build-up.

Free Set Concept allows mixed batch code V-Belts to run on multi-groove pulley drives without fitment or performance issues.

Yes, the Belt may shrink after long storage but regains its original length after running for a few minutes.

Yes, proper belt tension is essential for maximum belt life and efficient performance.

No, Belts do not require lubrication to maintain rubber hardness.

Check pulley groove quality, proper Belt tension, pulley alignment, and avoid forcing the Belt during installation.

Xcort Overseas provides drive design software for accurate Belt tension calculations.

Yes, all Xcort Overseas V and timing Belts meet ISO-1813 and ISO 9563 antistatic standards.

It is the minimum pulley size required for proper power transmission without excess bending stress.

RoHS restricts hazardous substances in electronic equipment, while REACH regulates chemical registration and safety.

6 years if stored properly in a suitable Belt storage environment.

Standard pulleys follow ISO standards while non-standard pulleys use different groove and pitch dimensions.

A dual-duty pulley supports both classical and wedge section Belts on the same pulley.

Classical Sections use Li, Wedge Sections use Lp, and Narrow Sections use La measurements.

Aramid corded Belts have approximately three times higher tensile strength than polyester Belts.

EPDM Belts offer excellent thermal resistance and operate effectively between -35°C to 130°C.

Dual power Belts are double-sided Belts that transmit power from both sides for serpentine drives.
