Eureka Vacuum Belts And Getting Top Performance

By Kent Wallman


The belts for most vacuum cleaners can come in many styles different and hundreds of different sizes. Most the time, vacuums use a belt to propel the agitation mechanism, which is also become to be known as a brush roller accessory. With limited exceptions, many vacuums will use either a flat drive belt, round drive belt, or a geared style drive belt.

The type of belt that your vacuum uses is very important, not only for durability, but performance as well. The condition and type of belt your vacuum uses will have a lot of impact on the systems ability to clean carpet. The proper use of agitation is almost 70% of the cleaning ability of a vacuum cleaner.

The suction action is also extremely important. The suction is what gives pull of the debry that comes off the carpet into the collection department of the vacuum. The suction capability, or air-flowing, is the key point when cleaning hard flooring or when using other types of attachments. Without suction happening, a vacuum cleaner could only bring a tiny amount of dirt to the top surface of carpets. Although the agitation and suction are highly important when vacuuming, the agitation unit also is what actually cleans carpet or floors.

Many different various types of manufacturers producing a good brush roller device are making these strong stick rollers of wood, metal, or even plastic parts that are driven by a suction device or brushing motor through the use of three or four or five different types of belts - round, geared, or flat vacuum belts or other kinds of belts.

The round belts were the first type of belt introduced, they were simple manufacture. The round style, unfortunately, normally operates in the same space as vacuumed dirt. What this is suppose to mean, is that all of the dirt, staples, and hair you vacuum up from the floor will pass around the belt unit; cutting, nicking, dicing, slicing, ripping or even scratching the belt along the way to the dirt contraption unit.

Most models and the Eureka vacuum belts have to stretch quite ways, placing more stress on the roller unit and the motor bearing house. The round belt although is still very common, and stilled used today.

The flat style of vacuum belts are mostly run in a circular fashion, not like the twisted route the round belt goes through to deliver the performance in the appropriate direction.

The style allows production of these vacuums to run the belt off of one side of the machine and one side of the brush roller mechanism, instead of the center where all of the dirt is flying by. This is really a good innovation, as you it eliminates premature wear and tear causing failure due to the soiled and filthy belt path.

The latest belt being designed is considered to be the highest quality in the vacuum cleaner industry. Even though there are variations of this model out there, the geared belt drive is the efficient means to turn a brush. The geared belt is sometimes known as a positive brush system all because the energy flow of the brush motor is transmitted fast and directly to the brush roller.

Both the brush and the motor are firmly locked by a bunch of fixed teeth which are attached to each other through a cogged belt system used without tension. The resulting direct model connection results in higher cleaning effectiveness because the brushing will drive a faster speed regardless of the old age of any belt.

The flat belt style can stretch as they become warmer, which will cause the belt to lose its tension. When you use your vacuum cleaner, the belt always is going to stretch no matter what. Believe it or not, it can immediately lose it's tension the moment you put it up to rest in your closet for storage.

There is however, one real drawback to geared belts - the cost of the vacuum. Geared belts are normally used on two motor vacuums. Not only does this require a separate suction and brush motor, but it also requires electronic sensory systems to tell you when something is wrong with the brush.
