The Process. A quality Custom Western Belt starts with the highest quality leather available today. Our leather is Grade A tooling and carving leather from the Hermann Oak Leather Company in St. Louis, Missouri who has been tanning leather since 1881. First, a belt blank is measured and cut from a side of leather. Then it is dampened with a sponge to soften the top portion of the belt blank. A sponge is used so as not to dampen the backing of the leather so that the belt will hold its shape during the tooling process. Once the proper dampness is obtained, the selected pattern is transferred to the belt blank.
Power Transmission Belt Design. Composite construction with three different material traction layers coated with NBR rubber (partly with Hamid or leather), with different structures on both surface sides, in asymmetric and symmetric styles. Asymmetrically built: A flat belts, partly TF and TCF series. Symmetrically built: Flat and tangential belts S, SP, CM, TC, partly TF series. Three different belt concepts: Polyester traction layer â outstanding price-to-value ratio. Polyamide traction layer â reliable and robust in harsh conditions. Aramide traction layer â the best choice for very long belts.
