Power Transmission
for Agriculture Equipment
Eliminate a Tensioner, Simplify Your Equipment
Agricultural machinery incorporates numerous auxiliary systems, from cleaning fans to seeder blowers. Each typically requires a belt drive and, therefore, a tensioner, adding an extra component that must be monitored and adjusted during maintenance. This complexity impacts both your bill of materials and your customers’ maintenance workload.

Our Belt Drive Solutions
Elastic Belts
Elastic belts directly address the challenges outlined above. Their polyamide elastic cord construction provides automatic tensioning that stabilizes after a short running-in period and then remains consistent throughout the belt’s service life.
By eliminating the tensioner, you reduce both the weight and footprint of the drive system. The technology also enables the use of smaller pulley diameters, further optimizing equipment design.
Maintenance operations related to tension retention and adjustment are eliminated from your customers’ service schedules. These belts support a wide range of power requirements, while our compounds withstand temperatures ranging from -45°C to over +120°C.
Ribbed Belts
We invented the ribbed belt concept and remain globally recognized for our expertise in calculation-based belt drive design and specification.
This technology transmits torque through multiple longitudinal ribs, enabling compact pulley diameters and high efficiency within a reduced installation envelope. For agricultural equipment operating in dusty environments, ribbed belts have become a benchmark solution thanks to their proven durability and performance.
Idlers and Installation Accessories
Some multi-shaft drive architectures remain complex, even when using elastic belts. For these applications, we offer dedicated idler solutions that ensure accurate belt positioning and automatic tensioning while accelerating assembly on the production line.
We also supply a complete range of tensioning technologies, from fixed tensioners to hydraulic systems. Hydraulic tensioners help reduce vibration in drives exposed to demanding dynamic loads. The portfolio is complemented by belt tension gauges for accurate installation and tension verification.
