Phillip Mosness Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Would these work on LTR magazines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg MacPherson Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Many on the forum may know if they are the same. But the best first step is to ask that supplier. That at least alerts them to what is needed. Making small runs of fine toothed belts has been going for a while, so even if there were no original parts available, there are people practiced at making them. Most important thing is to just share whatever info and contacts you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Saltry Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) pierrem@aaton.com Pierre at Aaton still manages the parts supply. Though its through Aaton directly, it is more of a back channel as they have a good amount of new OEM parts. I have talked to him once or twice in regards parts for a Minima and he has been responsive with quoting and invoices for new old stock.

Premium Member Stephen Perera Posted January 9, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted January 9, 2020 Further to this......speaking to Herman, he told me about the belts.....he basically took it upon himself to get them produced.....chapeau to Herman and thanks to him we can keep our Aaton magazines healthy. I quote Herman's email: .....I had the same problem here and no one wanted to produce the belts. It was really hard to convince a producer to make them. I got the original drawing from Aaton and had them made accordingly. It was quite an investment, since I had to buy a whole roll of Kevlar belt and have that cut at the exact size" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlar sounds like a nice material for the belt reinforcement, but it doesn't help the teeth, unless fibres are impregnated into them (the teeth) and adequately connected to fibres in the belt backing. The age of the rubbery materal, and the properties of that material sound like the important criteria. Having a toothed belt driving the film drive sprocket...must be quieter, may have some advantages, but it was a risky design decision. If I didn't admire him so much I'd call it a bad design decision.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 10 mags that need servicing! The website has no links or further information on how to purchase and everyone needs belts! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
