- The aluminium lattice PAS2411 (sketch: A) with a cross section of 24.4 x 11 mm offers a smooth surface. The profile was designed as a hollow core to reduce the weight. However, the profile is still solid at pin positions. This assures that the spikes have a good hold in the lath. The distance from the lath centre to lath centre is 40 mm or 46 mm as a standard. Other pitches are available on request. To prevent tarnishing of the aluminium, the laths can be equipped with an anodized surface.
- The laths are fastened using galvanized screws M5 (D) and special hardened steel bolts (E).
- The pins (B) with standard sizes of No. 10 x 1 3/8″ (3.35 x 35 mm) or 11 x 1 5/8″ (2.95 x 41.3 mm) are pressed into precisely drilled holes. The pins can also be permanently protected from corrosion. The pin angle is 45 degrees.
- The belts are available in a selection of materials and designs (C):
- Transilon belt. the screw heads are sunk into the belt. Width as chosen individually.
- Toothed belts for shaft diameters > 300 mm. 50 mm wide polyester belts reinforced with special fibres. Large teeth (D), connected by screws to the belts and laths, assure the additionally necessary frictional connection.
- Toothed belts for shaft diameter < 300 mm are equipped with non-driven intermediary teeth. These ensure low noise and low wear operation, even for small shaft- or wheel diameters.
- The polyester web straps (F) seal the gaps by their insertion between the lattices. Woven plastic threads make them absolutely resistant to removal. Strap removal is prevented by pressing the channels together at lath end.
- The endless connection in the machine is an overlapping junction of the belts over 3 or 4 laths and is made by screw connection.
