At Broekema, we meticulously engineer our traction belts to ensure slip-free power transmission in agricultural and other demanding applications. Each belt is made from advanced rubber compounds formulated in-house within the Jäger Group, guaranteeing excellent wear resistance and a secure bond with the internal fabric layers. By using specialized fabric constructions, including pre-stretched warp threads, we reduce unwanted elongation so the belt’s cam pitch remains accurate over time.

We offer a range of fabric strengths, from TN900/3 (ideal for most general uses) and TN1000/2 (enhanced flexibility) to TN1200/3 (heavy duty). Choosing the right option involves striking a balance between tensile strength and maneuverability. For instance, while heavy-duty belts can handle substantial loads, they may be less flexible for tight corners or smaller roller diameters; on the other hand, a belt that’s too light might struggle under continuous heavy loads.

Another factor in maintaining belt longevity is the slight under-tolerance applied to the pitch during production. This allows installers to tension the belt precisely, aligning the cams correctly with the sprockets and minimizing premature wear. In practice, this means a more stable operation, fewer risks of slippage, and reduced downtime for maintenance or repairs.

Ultimately, choosing the right Broekema traction belt comes down to understanding your application’s specific needs—load requirements, environmental conditions, and the degree of bending in your setup. By matching the belt to these factors, you can achieve reliable performance, maximize service life, and keep your operation running smoothly.
