Rubber belts are used in various industries for power transmission, conveying materials, and controlling mechanisms in machinery. They’re common in automobiles, industrial machines, conveyor systems, and more.

Rubber belts are typically made from synthetic rubber compounds or natural rubber. They may also include other materials like fabric, or polymers for reinforcement and durability.

Consider factors like the type of machinery, load capacity, speed, environment (temperature, moisture), and required durability. Consulting with belt manufacturers or experts can help in selecting the most suitable belt.

Regular inspection for wear, proper tension adjustment, and cleaning are important. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or chemicals that could degrade the rubber..

The lifespan depends on usage, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Properly cared for, they can last for months to several years in various applications.

Yes, various types include V-belts, synchronous belts, flat belts, ribbed belts, and more. Each type is designed for specific applications and load requirements.

Specialized rubber compounds exist for high-temperature applications. However, exceeding recommended temperature limits can cause premature wear or failure.

Yes, rubber belts can stretch over time, especially when subjected to heavy loads or improper tensioning. Regular tension checks and adjustments are necessary.
