FAQs
You Have Questions. We Have Answers.
What is Bestlink used for?
Bestlink is used for fast V-belt replacement when traditional belt installation is difficult, time-sensitive, or impractical. It is especially useful for emergency repairs, hard-to-access drives, equipment where pulley disassembly would take too long, and maintenance teams that need a flexible belt option on hand.
How do I install a Bestlink link belt?
Bestlink belts are assembled by hand. Measure or match the belt length you need, connect the individual links, and twist the ends together using the integrated locking tabs. The belt can be installed without special tools and without fully disassembling the drive, making it a practical option for quick repairs and field maintenance.
Are Bestlink belts meant for emergency use only?
No. Bestlink is often used for emergency repairs, but it can also be used for ongoing operation in the right application. For heavier-duty or high-speed systems, Bestorq can help confirm whether Bestlink or a conventional V-belt is the better choice.
Can Bestlink belts replace my current belt?
Yes. Bestlink belts are designed to fit standard pulley grooves and can replace many conventional rubber V-belts in compatible applications. They are a good option for light to moderate-duty drives, temporary repairs, and situations where a standard endless belt is difficult to install.
How long does the Bestlink belt last?
Bestlink can be used as a temporary or longer-term solution depending on the drive conditions. Many customers rely on it for full-time operation in light to moderate duty systems. Belt life will depend on load, speed, pulley condition, alignment, tension, and the overall operating environment.
Can Bestlink be resized in the field?
Yes. Bestlink belts can be adjusted by adding or removing links until the correct length is reached. This makes them useful for maintenance teams that need one belt solution to cover multiple belt lengths or emergency replacement scenarios.
