Blog – DYMCO’s Driving Belt <1 of 4> ‘What is a driving belt?’
A steel belt is an open or endless belt made of high-tensile stainless steel. The use of steel belts is categorized into “driving” and “conveying,” and for the purpose of driving, open belts are mainly used. The abbreviation for the open belt is DO, standing for Dymco Open type.
High-tensile stainless steel has minute elongation and high rigidity compared to resin or rubber belts, enabling precision driving.
In addition, this material has many advantageous property to a driving belt, such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance, cleanliness, flatness, low outgassing, and wear-proof hard surface.
