Hinged bolt fasteners provide a flexible joint for belts operating over small pulleys. Because the joint is easily separated by simply removing the hinge pin, entire belt sections may be added or eliminated.
Designed as a compression fastener,the bolt hinged model is fastened to the belt ends with high strength bolts. These compress the plates into the belt cover. Additional holding capabilities is provided by the fastener teeth that imbed in the belt without damage to the belt carcass.
This combination distributes the splice tension across the entire plate width, while the teeth secure the fastener into the belt carcass to resist pull-out.

Most 550 steel joints are furnished with continuous, single-piece fastener strips (belt widths 24", 30", 36", 42" and 48"). These strips reduce installation time and insure a straight splice. These and other width joints are available, made up with individual fastener plates, for increased joint flexibility on deep-troughing idlers or where poor belt alignment is a problem. |

Each "J" carton contains one complete belt joint. This includes: fasteners, hinge pin, filler tubing, bolts and nuts; assembly clips and a gauge rod for easy installation. (The connected fastener strips,375X and certain widths of 550 strip, do not require clips, so none are included.)

SC - Bare Steel CableFor conveying gritty or highly abrasive material, Bare Steel Cable (SC) is recommended. Offered for numbers 375X and 550 fasteners only. |
NC - Nylon Covered Steel CableThe nylon coating reduces corrosion and makes pin insertion easier. |
SSC - Bare Stainless Steel CableWhere corrosion attacks steel cable hinge pins, Bare Stainless Steel Cable (SSC) does the job. Not recommended for use with deep troughing idlers over 35º. |
NCS - Nylon Covered Stainless Steel CableFor greater corrosion resistance, the Nylon Covered Stainless Steel Cable (NCS) is furnished standard with Stainless joints. In is not recommended for use with deep troughing idlers over 35º. |
NB - Nylon Covered Bronze CableFor a non-magnetic joint, use fully non-magnetic Nylon Covered Bronze Cable (NB) with Everdur fasteners. |
NAC - Nylon Covered Armored CableThe right hinge pin for many mining conditions is the Nylon Covereed Armored Cable (NAC). Long service life is due to the patented hinge pin design. It combines a durable, flat wire wrap around the cable which is covered by nylon for smooth operation. |
Used in conjunction with the "clip and gauge rod" method to install complete joints, the templet acts as a guide to accurately punch or drill holes into the belt ends. This insures proper fastener alignment.
Templets are available for all sizes of Bolt Hinged fasteners. They come in lengths for standard belt widths. See table below for ordering information.

In addition to a templet or aligning holder, the following hand or power tools are required for installation: a punch or a boring bit (the punch is preferred for general use and where the belt cover is over 3/16" thick); a wrench (a different wrench is required for stainless fasteners, which are furnished with slotted nuts); and a bolt breaker.
A power impact wrench cuts application time by approximately 50%. It should be used with a "quick change chuck" which adapts the tools to the square drive stud on an air or electric impact wrench.
