Link-Belt Company
The Link-Belt Machinery Company was incorporated in Illinois on November 13, 1880. It was renamed the Link-Belt Company on May 28, 1906, upon merging two subsidiaries, the Ewart Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis and the Link-Belt Engineering Company of Philadelphia. The Link-Belt Company was merged into FMC Corporation on June 30, 1967.
The firm was founded by William Dana Ewart (1851-1908), who had invented the detachable link-belt in 1874. The flexible metal belt provided a superior system of power transmission and was first used widely in farm machinery. It was later introduced in industry wherever endless-belt motion was required, particularly for elevating and conveying grain, coal, etc. Out of this grew the manufacture and design of machinery used in all sorts of conveyors and elevators, making the company the foremost of its kind in the world.
