Abstract
A load-pulling system includes a least one belt to which a tensile load is applied. The belt is formed of a matrix and a load-bearing fiber structure embedded in the matrix and having a plurality of fibers. The belt is guided around a least one deflection device in such a way that it forms a curved section in the region of the deflection device. A dimensioning of the belt and the applied tensile load are matched to each other in such a way that, in the curved section of the belt, a zero stress line of the belt is displaced radially inward in the direction of curvature with respect to a center line of the load-bearing fiber structure by an amount of at least 25% of the thickness of the load-bearing fiber structure.

A load-pulling system, comprising:
- a belt subject to a tensile load, said belt being formed of a matrix and a load-bearing fiber structure formed of a plurality of fibers embedded in said matrix, said load-bearing fiber structure having a center line and a given thickness;
- said belt being guided around at least one deflection device, wherein a a curved section of said belt is formed in a region of the deflection device;
- wherein a dimensioning of said belt and the tensile load applied to said belt are matched to each other such that, in the curved section of said belt, a zero stress line of said belt is displaced radially inwards in a direction of curvature with respect to said center line of said load-bearing fiber structure by an amount of at least 25% of the given thickness of the load-bearing fiber structure.
