How PureSteel® Precision Engineering Powers Clean, Reliable Performance
In industrial automation, where reliability and repeatability define success, precision engineering isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. At Belt Technologies, we engineer PureSteel® stainless steel belts and pulleys with one goal: to deliver predictable, consistent performance in environments where failure isn’t an option.
Our approach to engineering is guided by exacting standards and over 50 years of experience. What some might call elegant design, we define as the direct result of careful, deliberate engineering that eliminates variables and supports system uptime.
Built for Exacting Tolerances
Every PureSteel® belt, drive tape and pulley is designed and manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances. Metal belts do not stretch or fray, and our belts maintain a pitch accuracy of ±0.0005″. This allows for highly accurate motion control—critical for semiconductor wafer fabrication, robotics, specialty packaging and other high-precision applications.
Zero backlash and zero slippage are essential in indexing and positioning operations. Our belts’ uniformity, combined with matched pulleys, ensures that motion is precise and repeatable without the variability common in alternative materials or belt types.
No Lubrication, No Particulate, No Downtime
Unlike traditional belt systems, PureSteel® metal belts require no lubrication, are antistatic, and generate no particulates. This makes them inherently clean and ideal for environments with strict contamination control requirements. For cleanroom applications in semiconductor or medical device production, this means fewer risks and reduced maintenance burdens.
Additionally, the absence of lubrication and particulate debris translates into longer service intervals and less unplanned downtime. Fewer moving parts means fewer failure points and no need for regular cleaning or replacement due to wear, so your process stays up and running—exactly as it should.
Performance in Harsh and Specialized Environments
From cryogenic conditions to high-temperature ovens, from vacuum chambers to food-safe environments, PureSteel® belt systems are built to endure where other materials fail. Stainless steel resists corrosion and maintains integrity across a wide range of temperatures and pressures.
We routinely provide belt solutions for vacuum environments, including ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications, where traditional materials would outgas or deform. The non-porous, non-combustible properties of PureSteel® are a fit for these scenarios—and our team can work with you to develop coatings or surface treatments as needed.
Clean Design That Solves Complex Challenges
Drive tapes and pulleys complement our belt systems to provide seamless, synchronized motion. Whether you’re indexing a robotic arm or transporting materials through a sealed chamber, our integrated systems are designed for reliability over time.
Our PureSteel® MultiBand drive tapes provide an elegant, engineered solution for applications where space is a concern. The multi-layer design’s increased cross-sectional area allows the designer to reduce pulley diameter without reducing large working loads, optimizing belt life in the process. Stainless steel’s high modulus of elasticity serves to resist the backlash effect for any remaining small gap that cannot be engineered out.
Elegance in engineering isn’t simplicity for simplicity’s sake—it is the art of solving the complexities of industrial automation with clean, optimized, workable solutions. That’s why many of the world’s most demanding industries trust Belt Technologies for mission-critical applications.
A Proven Foundation For Innovation
As a partner in your automation goals, we understand that precision engineering is more than a design ideal; it’s a performance standard that drives production efficiency, product quality and operational reliability. With ISO‑9001 certification and a proven track record in global industries, we help you maintain those standards without compromise.
