10-Micron Thick Nickel Elctro-Formed Seamless Belt

10-Micron Thick Nickel Elctroformed Seamless Belt
 

Thickness is controlled in micron order.
Completely seamless cylinder.
These re features of our Nickel electroformed belts.

How are these benefits wonderful?
As rigidity is proportional to the cube of the thickness,
the thinner steel belt can go around the smaller diameter pulleys.
Belts are tensile and capable to accept bending stress.

Our stainless steel welded belts, thickness ranges 0.05t~0.6t (mm).
However, this time we challenged thinner belts by electroforming and made a sample of thickness only 10 microns.

The belt goes along with a rod of Φ5mm
 
Nickel Seamless Belt Sample 0.01t×100W×380L
 
10-micron thick
 
What will be applications of this belt?

A belt in a limited space such as in micro machines
Knife-edge, very small R belt
Thin-wall cylinder shell
Electromagnetic wave shielding films
Special molding dies

We will develop electroforming technology of Nickel belts.
