A conveyor belt for a belt conveying system is formed of rubber or a rubber-like plastics material and reinforced by steel cables that extend in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt and run parallel to one another. The conveyor belt is assembled from interconnected portions. The steel cables, which have an inner cable core and helically encircling strands are arranged in the end regions of the portions such that they butt against one another, on the one hand, and overlap one another, on the other hand. The ends of groups of the steel cables are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt. At least in the case of the majority of the steel cables, the strands, which enclose the cable core of the individual steel cables, terminate at different spacing distances from the ends of the cable core, as a result of which the cross sections of the steel cables decrease in the direction of the ends thereof. |
