Hybroad® belt
HUTCHINSON® Hybroad® belt is specifically designed and optimized to meet vehicle electrification. Hybroad® Belt supports new powertrain functions by contributing directly to the power transmission chain.
Main Benefits
High torque transmission capacity
Excellent acoustic performances
Endurance under high solicitations
Characteristics
Belt Structure
High manufacturing quality
- Back side EPDM fiber-reinforced compound to ensure cord line stability throughout the process.
- Aramid cord with an improved adhesion system capable of operating under very high tension.
- Optimized EPDM compounds, fiber-reinforced to transmit heavy loads (torque).
- Good grip in both dry and wet conditions throughout the belt’s lifetime.
- Continuous Knitted fabric specifically designed to offer the required coefficients of friction
