Radium ‘Thane Belts On Idler WATCH OUT FOR BELT RUBBING

To add more context: it seems that one of the steel wires delaminated from the belt and wrapped around the axle, causing the wheel to bind up. It bound up so hard that it snapped the motor shaft. I can not see how standard kevlar-reinforced belts could have done this. Kevlar threads would have just snapped.

Chris, I’m so sorry this happened to you… We had no idea that this was a possible failure mode of our belts and I’m glad you are ok! While we are trying to push the industry forward with new advancements, sometimes despite our best efforts to test things thoroughly and scale up cautiously, it’s not until products are used on a wide variety of setups that issues present themselves. The belts that failed on you were in fact produced 10A softer than normal which I discovered after some complaints…
