Abstract
The invention relates to an endless, belt-shaped tension element (1) for a conveyor system with at least one joining point (2) comprising an elastomer, in particular a cross-linked and/or thermoplastic elastomer, at least one reinforcing layer and optionally at least one tension support (3), two ends of the at least one reinforcing layer being disposed at the at least one joining point (2). An insert piece (6) is disposed between the two ends at the joining point (2), subtending an angle α with the tension element longitudinal extension, and the ends of the at least one reinforcing layer overlap with the insert piece (6).
