The Eagle Belt and Sprocket System

Eagle

Welcome to the exciting world of Goodyear Eagle PDâ„¢, a unique and revolutionary concept in synchronous belts and sprockets.

Your first look at an Eagle PDâ„¢ Belt and Sprocket will tell you that this product is quite different than anything offered in the timing belt market today.

Outstanding Benefits:

  • Noise reduction
  • Reduced maintenance
  • Energy efficiency
  • Reduced vibration
  • Reduced downtime
  • Increased horsepower
  • Reduced drive width and weight

Quiet, Precise Power Transmission:

  • Hot ( Helical Offset Tooth) design of Eagle PDâ„¢ provides for a continuous rolling tooth engagement that helps reduce noise by up to 17 – 19 db vs. typical round tooth positive drive belts.
  • Eagle PDâ„¢ helps safety engineers meet OSHA noise standards
  • Silent partnership between belt and sprocket also provides for a reduction in drive vibration which means improved precision on finished parts.

Efficiency in power transmission drives reduces wasted energy dollars.

  • Eagle PD â„¢ is the perfect compliment for today’s high efficiency rated motors. Because v-belt and chain drives quickly lose initial tension, they typically run in the lower portion of their efficiency range. Eagle PDâ„¢ will continually run at about 98% efficiency.
  • Eagle PDâ„¢ is especially effective in
  • High energy consuming drives
  • Drives that run continuously
  • Drives that inflate energy consumption during peak periods

Less maintenance compared to V-belts and roller chain

  • Typically 20% of the drives cause 80% of the maintenance problems. Eagle PDâ„¢ requires less maintenance which means a reduction in costly downtime.
  • Eagle PDâ„¢ requires no lubrication – a constant concern with chain drives.
  • Chain and V-Belt drives require constant retensioning – Eagle PDâ„¢, once properly installed, never requires retensioning.
Advantages Over V-belts Advantages Over Chain
  • Reduced downtime and maintenance costs
  • No stretch
  • Eliminates tensioning devices
  • Lower belt tension/ reduced bearing loads
  • High Mechanical efficiency
  • No slippage
  • Reduced noise
  • Reduced downtime and maintenance costs
  • No stretch
  • Eliminates lubrication system
  • Not affected by corrosion
  • Wide speed range
  • Longer service life
  • Greater precision

Eagle PDâ„¢ Belt Construction Features/Benefits

Hibrexâ® rubber compound

  • Provides emergency down-time product selection flexibility
  • Faster part identification
  • Easier drive recommendations with simplified design process
  • Assurance that drive components match
  • Available in 8mm pitch (yellow, white) and 14mm pitch (blue, green, orange, and red)

Eagle PD Part Number Nomenclature
