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

Performances

High torque transmission capacity

  • Specific performance tests: 
    Dry/wet friction coefficients, new/aged, wet slip test at Stop & Start, and belt stiffness.

Excellent acoustic performances

  • Specific tests:
    In dry/wet conditions, new/aged, Restart in wet conditions, Under misalignment

Durability

  • Specific tests:
    Rib fatigue evaluation in hot and cold conditions, wear resistance evaluation, cord strength resistance.
