LACE FLEXCO 550J36NC 40050|Flexco's Bolt Hinged fasteners are engineered for belts operating over smaller pulleys - such as in construction equipment and road machinery. They are strong, dependable and easy to install. Designed as a compression fastener, they are fastened to the belt ends with high tensile strength bolts. These compress the plates in the belt cover. Additional holding capability is provided by the fastener teeth that imbed in the belt without damage to the belt carcass. Splice tension is therefore distributed across the entire plate width and the fastener is anchored to resist pull-out. This construction makes the fasteners ideal for applications that require frequent belt alterations, since the joint can be separated simply by removing the hinge pin.
