BIRMINGHAM, Mich.—Dayco, a manufacturer of drive systems and related engine products, has released a new synchronous belt line in North America, primarily for industrial customers.
Dayco said the three new belt drive products—which became available earlier this month—offer "a significant opportunity for energy savings" for its customers' industrial machines.
"There is a growing shift in the industry toward synchronous belts, and not just because of their amazing performance characteristics," said Kristian Campbell, Industrial Products manager for Dayco N.A. "Our customers are seeing a number of benefits by upgrading their facilities' belt drives to run synchronous belts.
"There are significant opportunities for energy and cost savings in doing so, especially when these companies spend hundreds of thousands on electricity every month."
