PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Flexco® SR™ Rivet Hinged Fastening System - R2 Medium Duty Rivet Hinged Belt Fasteners - Steel
The Flexco® SR™ Rivet Hinged Fastening
System has earned a reputation for
quality and performance in the most
demanding material handling applications
on earth. Wherever belt conveyors are
used, you need a fastener system that
lets you set up, splice, and get out of
the way... fast. Flexco SR fasteners
deliver the performance, long life, and
easy installation that maximize belt
availability and help keep productivity on a roll.
Flexco Rivet Hinged Fasteners combine top and bottom fastener plates, which
are joined at one end by two wide hinge loops. Each pair of plates sandwich the
belt end and are secured to the belt with a staggered pattern of rivets. The rivets
penetrate the belt without damaging or weakening the belt carcass providing
maximum resistance to pull-out and evenly distributed splice tension across
the width of the belt. No matter what the belt condition, Flexco SR fasteners
are a good choice for both new and older, worn belts. Rivet hinged fasteners
can be used on belts ranging from 1/8" to 1" (3 - 25 mm) after skive with pulley
diameters over 5" (127 mm). Concerns about comparable vulcanized splice
strength can be dismissed as rivet hinged fasteners have a long history of service
on belts with mechanical fastener rating of up to 2000 P.I.W. (350 kN/m).
