Splicing Kits

PIC Design has always been the acknowledged leader in the design and fabrication of high performance positioning belts and pulleys. To complement our line of No-Slip and No-Slide belts, PIC offers a series of Belt Field Splicing Kits. Belts can be assembled in the field from bulk stock. This capability is particularly useful for those engaged in prototyping operations or repair. The kit consists of a ratcheting plier, belt positioning fixture, knife, stripper/cutter, and a supply of ferrules. The fixture assures that the belt pitch will be accurate over the splice area. The ratcheting plier-die set combination assures a consistently crimped ferrule. To add flexibility, other belt configurations can be crimped by simply purchasing the appropriate positioning fixture and a supply of ferrules.

The five basic steps to assure a correct splice are:

1. Cut belt to desired length
2. Remove polyurethane from each end
3. Insert ends into ferrule
4. Position belt into holddown feature
5. Crimp
