The Origin of PU Drive Belt

Polyurethane transmission belts (PU transmission belts), as a high-performance transmission component, can be traced back to the development of polyurethane materials and the demand for industrial applications.
Polyurethane, as a polymer material, was first discovered in the 1930s and gradually applied in different fields. Initially, polyurethane was mainly used to manufacture products such as elastomers, coatings, adhesives, etc. With the development of materials science, people gradually realize that polyurethane has excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and other characteristics, paving the way for its application in the field of transmission belts.
In the 1970s, with the advancement of industrial automation and mechanization, higher requirements were put forward for the performance and reliability of transmission systems. Traditional transmission belt materials such as rubber and leather no longer meet the requirements in certain applications, so scientists and engineers have begun to research and develop new types of transmission belt materials. In this context, polyurethane materials have gradually gained attention due to their excellent performance and have been introduced into the manufacturing of transmission belts.
The initial use of PU transmission belts may have been in specific applications in industrial equipment, such as food processing, textiles, printing, and other fields. With a deeper understanding of the properties of PU materials and improvements in manufacturing technology, the application range of PU transmission belts is gradually expanding, covering more industrial fields.
Today, PU transmission belts have become an indispensable part of the industrial field, widely used in various mechanical equipment and production lines, providing stable and efficient power transmission for transmission systems. Its excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and adaptability to high load work make PU transmission belts play an important role in modern industry.
In summary, the origin of PU transmission belts can be traced back to the development of polyurethane materials and the demand for industrial applications. With the continuous progress of material science and manufacturing technology, PU transmission belts have gradually developed and become an important component of modern industry.
