 Flex creates custom slit timing belts for a wide range of applications and industries such as power transmission, conveying and indexing. Timing belts offer a number of advantages over chain or gear.
Belt-pulley compatibility ensures belt teeth mesh precisely with pulley grooves for consistent output speed without slipping, skipping, vibration or speed variation, providing a non-slip, positive performance.
Low maintenance and economical belts do not require retensioning or, unlike chain or gear, lubrication, making them ideal for applications where maintenance is difficult and downtime is costly.
The tooth grip principle ensures timing belts do not need high tension, so loads are minimized, resulting in longer motor and bearing life.
Design versatility of timing belts makes for a wide range of load capabilities, torques, and speeds that makes them a great choice for a variety of applications. Load carrying capacity can vary from fractional to hundreds of horsepower, and speeds can range from zero to over 10,000 rpm.
Timing belts:
- Weigh only a fraction compared to other belt products for the amount of horsepower transmitted.
- Drives save space because they are compact due to small pulleys and shorter center distances.
- Are clean and quiet, ideally suited for contamination-sensitive machines.
- Are more accurate and exact than V-belt drives.
