Abstract

The work addresses the problem of the classification of joining of lightweight conveyor and flat belts. The development of belt construction resulted in a significant qualitative increase in the mechanical properties of the belt rod. Solutions in the field of belt end connections have not been able to keep up with this progress. There is no comprehensive classification of belt connections. all manufacturers classify them and name them in their own way. The use of endless belts limits the design possibilities of machines, because they limit the possibility of mounting and disassembling the belt.
