The present invention relates to a transmission belt providing a belt member, and at least one RFID tag attached to the belt member, the at least one RFID tag including an integrated circuit, and an antenna connected to the integrated circuit for transmitting a signal indicative of a state of the transmission belt. The signal indicative of the state of the transmission belt is determined on the basis of a current deflection of the antenna.

A belt for power transmission or transport comprising a polyurethane belt body, wherein the polyurethane of the belt body is the reaction product of a urethane prepolymer and a diamine chain extender, and the urethane prepolymer is based on a polyether and a linear aliphatic diisocyanate. The belt has excellent hydrolysis resistance.

A transmission system using a toothed belt includes a belt body made of elastomer and a core wire made of carbon fiber and provided so as to be embedded in the belt body and form a helix having a pitch in a belt width direction. The belt body includes a flat band portion having a horizontally long rectangular cross section and a plurality of tooth portions integrally provided on an inner peripheral side of the flat band portion. A belt tension T0.2 per belt width of 1 mm when a belt elongation rate is 0.2% is 70 N/mm or more, an amount of backlash between the toothed belt and a toothed pulley is 0.10 mm or more and less than 0.65 mm, a hardness of the belt body is 89° or more in JIS K 6253 Durometer Type A, and a surface dynamic friction coefficient is 1.5 or less.

A belt extends along a longitudinal axis and is delimited by two sides opposite one another, by a back surface and by a front surface, which is opposite the back surface, is provided with at least one tooth and is designed to cooperate in contact with a transmission wheel; the belt has at least one wear indicator defined by an element comprising ferromagnetic material, which is embedded in an intermediate portion of the tooth.

The present invention relates to a flat belt (10) that is an open end belt to be fixed to a coupler (31, 41), in which the flat belt (10) contains, formed on both end portions (11, 12) of at least one surface of the flat belt (10), a plurality of projected portions (13) engageable with a plurality of recessed portions (33, 43) formed on the coupler (31, 41).

The invention relates to a belt-shaped rope of an elevator having opposite lateral sides facing in thickness direction of the rope, at least one of the lateral sides being shaped to have elongated ribs that are disposed adjacent each other in width direction of the rope and extend parallel with the longitudinal direction of the rope. Each said rib has a first flank face for contacting a flank face of a rib of a rope wheel, and a second flank face for contacting a flank face of a rib of a rope wheel. Each said first and second flank face is shaped to have an arcuate cross-sectional profile, and said first and second flank face are shaped to arc to such steepness that the angle defined between their tangents is acute, and the surface material of said flank faces has shore A hardness more than 85 and less than 100. The invention also relates to an elevator arrangement as well as to an elevator, implementing the aforementioned belt-shaped rope.
