Timing belts are a very multifaceted conveying and drive element. Due to the form-fitting and thus synchronous power transmission, timing belts are used to power machines as well as to transport products and goods. They ensure precisely timed work and optimise the technical processes of a great variety of applications through their high performance.
These belts use steel tension cords or Aramide tension cords encased in a polyurethane jacket with integral teeth. The method of manufacture ensures tight control of pitch length for applications where accurate positioning is required. Polyurethane is a non-crumbling, non-marking material with excellent resistance to mineral oils, greases and light acidic solutions making it an ideal material for food applications, pharmaceutical processing machines and paper transporting systems.
Polyurethane belt drives are available in 3 pitch sizes, 2.5mm (T2.5), 5mm (T5 & AT5) and 10mm (T10 & AT10), with a selection of pilot bore pulleys. Double sided belts and long open end belt lengths are also available. clamping plates are available to retain the reciprocating drive belts.
A new range of PU belts to operate on standard HTD pulleys is available in 5mm, 8mm and 14mm pitch in open end construction for high load reciprocating drives.
