Abstract
An endless fabric belt subjected to a substantial running tension. The belt has an endless woven fabric formed from a plurality of MD (machine direction) ultra high molecular weight polymer strands approaching zero creep at high tensile loads. A plurality of CMD (cross machine direction) strands are interwoven with the MD strands. The plurality of MD strands have first and second ends spliced to one another to form an endless belt, the splices forming a significant linear MD overlap of about 30 cm with each other.
