Synchronous Belts

  • how does the timing belt material affect the performance and life of your equipment?

    Material – The “genetic” determinism of timing belts In the performance equation of timing belts, material is not a supporting role but the core “gene” that determines transmission efficiency, service life and equipment stability. Rubber and polyurethane, the two dominant materials in the market, represent two different technical routes and application philosophies. A wrong choice…

  • How to Identify and Measure Synchronous (Timing) Belts

    Refer to these handy tips the next time you need to identify and order a synchronous belt. 1. What is a Synchronous Belt? A synchronous belt, also known as a timing belt, is a mechanical transmission component with teeth on its inner surface that mesh with grooves on pulleys (sprockets). Unlike traditional V-belts or chains,…
