Kewl! Certifiable slicker than snot on a doorknob. I can see why they would patent it. I wonder how long till it would take to stretch enough to not lay dead flat on the track? However, I have a belt, not as wide, white that greatly resembles that one on my z drive, well tensioned about 5 years ago, and has not lost any of that tension that I can detect since. So the white stuff seems to be good, kevlar/dacron back I assume. Here, it would appear the only real tension would be between the motor pinion and the bottom of the rollers holding it to the track. IOW no tension end to end on the belt except for the length in the loop. Clamped as shown on each end, it ought to just lay there. I am impressed. Very impressed.
