BELT MEMBER, BELT CONVEYANCE DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a belt member that can reduce the depth of scratches caused by support rollers on the inner peripheral surface of the belt.SOLUTION: An intermediate transfer belt 3 that is supported and conveyed while being stretched by a plurality of support rollers including a tension roller 5 is configured such that the relationship between the Martens hardness of the inner peripheral surface of the belt stretched by the plurality of support rollers and the elastic power of the intermediate transfer belt 3 satisfies the following formula 1: (Martens hardness of inner peripheral surface)×(elastic power)≥8000, wherein the unit of the Martens hardness of the inner peripheral surface of the belt member is N/mm, and the unit of the elastic power of the belt member is %.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
