  • MaterialHAWA
  • Alligator #20 profile fits 5/32 to 3/16 in belt thickness

  • Steel construction handles 95 piw maximum working tension
  • 3 in minimum pulley diameter suits compact drive systems

Alligator #20 lacing for conveyor repair

This alligator-style lacing joins conveyor belts in material-handling and industrial conveying systems. The #20 size fits belts between 5/32 in and 3/16 in thick and works on pulleys of at least 3 in diameter. Each pack contains four steel lacing strips ready for installation. It suits maintenance crews who need a mechanical splice without vulcanising equipment.

Fits 30 in belt widths and 95 piw tension rating

The 30 in lacing length spans standard belt widths, while the 95 piw maximum working tension covers light to moderate conveying loads. Steel construction resists wear on abrasive lines and allows the splice to run over minimum 3 in pulleys. Connecting pins are not included, so installers must supply compatible hinge pins separately. The pack of four strips supports multiple splices or spare inventory.

Replaces worn mechanical splices on existing belts

This lacing upgrades from damaged or fatigued alligator fasteners on the same belt thickness and tension range. The jump is worthwhile when the old splice shows hinge wear, plate cracking or belt pull-out. It is not for belts thinner than 5/32 in, thicker than 3/16 in, or tensions above 95 piw. Buyers needing endless vulcanised joints or higher tension ratings should seek alternative splicing methods.

Questions about this item

How does the 95 piw maximum working tension limit the belt load during continuous operation?

The lacing is rated for a maximum working tension of 95 piw, so the belt load must stay at or below that value to avoid overstressing the splice under sustained use.

Will the steel lacing generate noticeable heat or noise when the conveyor runs all day?

The steel alligator lacing itself does not produce heat or noise; any sound or temperature rise comes from the belt, pulleys and drive system, not from the lacing plates.

What belt thickness and pulley diameter must the installation already have for this #20 lacing to work?

The belt must be between 5/32 in and 3/16 in thick, and the minimum pulley diameter must be at least 3 in for the #20 lacing to engage correctly.
