We are your trusted partners for your power transmission products. We pride ourselves on our expertise in drive and transmission systems. Our solutions are designed to provide increased efficiency, extended life, and minimal maintenance.
We are authorised distributors for many of the world's leading belt and chain manufacturers, providing guaranteed traceability and high quality products.
Here at Acorn Industrial Services we stock a wide range on power transmission products including:
V-Belts
Commonly used for their simplicity and efficiency, V-belts transmit power between pulleys with a trapezoidal cross-section.
Timing Belts
These belts have teeth that mesh with corresponding grooves on the pulleys, providing precise timing and synchronisation.
Flat Belts
Used for high-speed and low-torque applications, flat belts provide smooth and quiet operation.
Roller Chains
Composed of interconnected links, roller chains are used with sprockets to transmit power in various applications, including conveyors and machinery.
Silent Chains
Designed for quieter operation, silent chains have toothed links that engage with sprockets.
Power transmission components and systems are used in a wide range of industries and applications, including:
Manufacturing:
Conveyor systems, pumps, compressors, and other machinery requiring reliable power transmission and load handling

Power transmission products are components used in machinery to transmit mechanical power from one place to another. They include items such as gears, belts, chains, couplings, shafts, and bearings.
The function of power transmission is to efficiently transfer mechanical power from a power source, like an engine or motor, to a machine or device. This involves changing the speed, torque, or direction of the power as needed.
Fixing a transmission problem typically involves diagnosing the issue, which could be anything from a worn-out part to a misalignment, and then repairing or replacing the faulty component. It’s recommended to seek professional help due to the complexity of transmission systems.
The basic power transmission devices include gears, which change the speed and direction of power; belts and chains, which transmit power between pulleys or sprockets; and couplings, which connect two shafts together for power transmission.
The efficiency of Power Transmission is dependent on multiple factors. These are:
Quality of installation - The precision and care taken in the installation process of the power transmission product is critical towards maximising efficiency.
Quality of product - Efficiency in power transmission is heavily influenced by the quality of the power transmission product, a more quality product results in higher levels of efficiency.
Effective maintenance - The correct, proficient and regular maintenance of your power transmission products can not only extend the life-span of the product, but also increase the efficiency of the power transmission process.
