For applications where metal belt fasteners can't be used, the Alligator® Plastic Rivet Fastener System is a long-lasting, easy-to-install solution for light-duty applications. Our sturdy non-metallic fastener is also a low-cost alternative to the time and expense associated with vulcanization.
Fastener plate leading edges are beveled to ensure a smooth, low-profile splice. The one-piece fastener features an integrated design with rivets molded right into the fastener top plate - fast belt replacement means reduced downtime and increased productivity. Plus, the smooth surface is easy to clean.
Design permits use on applications with minimum pulley diameters as small as 1-1/2" (38mm) and on belts 1/32" to 1/8" (0.8-3.2mm) thick.
Choose the material that matches your application. UV-resistant black delivers extended life in outdoor applications. FDA-accepted white plastic is suitable for food and pharmaceutical processing applications, and resists weak acids, alkali, hydrocarbons, ester solvents, and alcohols. Both materials can be used in applications from -20°F to 180°F (-29°C to 82°C).
