Rubber timing belts were developed for use in power drives. Thanks to their smooth running characteristics, they are ideal for the realisation of durable drive solutions for challenging applications.
These timing belts consist of a polychloroprene backing and teeth, a glass fibre cord or aramide tension member and polyamide fabric. They are produced in a vulcanisation process. They are used where stresses are produced by
high torques or
high belt speeds and
transmission power.
The rubber timing belts are manufactured either as continuous timing belts for the high-performance sector, as endless timing belts for standard ranges, as open-ended belts by the metre, or with double teeth.
Endless rubber timing belts for high-performance applications are made form either polychloroprene or HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile rubber) and are available in CTD (Continuous Torque Drive), HTD (High Torque Drive), and STD (Super Torque Drive) profiles.
Endless rubber timing belts for standard applications are made form polychloroprene or polychloroprene blends and are available in HTD and STD profiles, as well as inch pitches.
Open-end rubber timing belts are made form polychloroprene. They are also available in HTD and STD profiles, as well as inch pitches.
Double-toothed rubber timing belts enable an economical efficiency due the synchronous power transmission on both sides and are particularly suitable for low- to medium-power applications. DHTD profiles, DSTD profiles, and inch pitches are common options.
