Elastic belt enables efficient
compressor design
The elastic Flexonic belt enables manufacturers to construct oil-free piston compressors that are more economical and lightweight and use only a small universal brush-type motor.
Hutchinson reckons its Flexonic belts are ideal for portable compressors from 750W to 3.75kW and a pressure of 6 to 14bar The elastic Flexonic belt enables manufacturers to construct oil-free piston compressors that are more economical and lightweight and use only a small universal brush-type motor

One belt answers all conveyor demands
A novel four-in-one belt can not only transport loads up to 1200kg but can replace all four systems used in the conveyor assembly - the flat belt, round belt, chain and timing belt.
With the Flexonic, there is no need to change compressors to vary the flow rate: just modify the belt drive.
The Flexonic belt can handle temperatures up to 120C and enables compressor designers to trade off the size of the piston and air chamber to find the best solution.
The elastic cable provides reliable power transmission (stabilised tension) with a lifespan of more than 300h.
It is quieter than alternatives, enables simple pressure adjustment and provides a consistent output.
Compatible with the company's standard Poly-V pulleys (specification ISO9982), the Flexonic belt is available portable compressor designs in PH and PJ profiles.
