What are Megadyne Accu-Link Adjustable V-Belts?
Megadyne's Accu-Link is an adjustable link-style V-belt that offers flexibility and long-lasting use as a substitute for regular rubber V-belts. This innovative product is made up of a series of polyurethane links, strengthened by premium multilayer woven polyester.

It can be either joined or made endless for maximum convenience. Another notable advantage is its ability to attain any length required with just one roll, eliminating the need to stock multiple individual belt sizes and resulting in smaller, more cost-effective inventories.
Despite its compact size, Accu-Link boasts a high power rating that is comparable to traditional V-belts. It is also highly resistant to harsh conditions, thanks to its Polyurethane composition which can withstand exposure to chemicals, salts, oils, and grease, leading to a longer lifespan compared to rubber counterparts. Accu-Link is also highly adaptable to a wide temperature range of -25° C to 80° C (-13° F to 176° F) and can thrive in tough and abrasive environments, outlasting traditional rubber V-belts. Additionally, the innovative manufacturing process used for the links results in a quieter and smoother operation with minimal vibrations, setting it apart from traditional rubber V-belts.
