Care should be taken not to operate the belting or fasteners beyond their recommended ratings 2 Measure belt thickness If fasteners are to be countersunk measure the belt thickness after a portion of the belt cover has been removed Choose a fastener size which corresponds to belt thickness 3 Measure the diameter of the smallest pulley in your drive For tail or takeup of the selfcleaning wingtype pulley 25 larger diameter dimensions are generally required Only consider pulleys over which the belt makes at least a 90 wrap 4 Choose the fastener size that is appropriate for your specifications Consult individual Flexco application catalogs to guide your selection 5 Hinged or solid plate When either style is appropriate solid plate styles are preferred for longer life and to prevent sifting Hinged fasteners are preferred on portable conveyors with smaller pulley diameters Fastener Metals include Steel Stainless Steel MegAlloy RustAlloy Everdur and Promal M e c h a n i c a l b e l t f a s
