Making choices is easier if you have the right information at your finger tips. When the choices involve the selection of Goodyear power transmission belts, making the right choice can save you time, money and aggravation, and prevent doubt and confusion.

MaximizerTM is an exciting computer program that has been developed to put Goodyear belt specifications and information right at your fingertips. It is easy to install and easy to use.

When you have to specify belt drive components, Maximizer will come to your rescue. It has all the information about available belts, sprockets, pulleys and bushings.

It will ask you to fill in the particulars for the application. You’ll be asked to supply performance specifications, such as horsepower, driver and driven rpm, center distances, shaft sizes, widths. You will also fill in hours per week and weeks per year, energy costs and similar key facts.

What you’ll get back are the options and choices you face. To make selecting among the options easier, the sizes of the components, the costs of the parts, the energy costs and noise factors are matched with requirements specified by the user. The trade offs are clear.

The selection screen provides an easy way to view, sort, and print the resulting selections. From the selection screen drive selections can be sorted by: energy cost; drive price; noise level; or face width.

Using Maximizer allows you to choose the “best” drive. The program also supplies other pertinent information such as component costs and full details of tensioning. Engineering drawings are also included.

Maximizer is available from IBT, your local Goodyear Distributor.
