MXL timing belts with a 0.080 inch (2.03 mm) pitch are made of polyurethane with either polyester or Kevlar cord reinforcement, designed for synchronous power transmission. Available in inch or metric widths from 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch (3 mm to 9.5 mm), they have a continuous operating temperature range of -34°C to +85°C and can withstand intermittent exposure up to +121°C. Breaking strength varies by cord type and groove count: polyester belts provide 40 to 80 lbf per 1/8 inch width, while Kevlar belts offer 80 to 130 lbf per 1/8 inch width. Belts are sold in standardized groove counts up to 515, with pitch lengths up to 1046.48 mm. Special widths can be cut to size from sleeves.
For power transmission applications, a belt and pulley drive system are one of the most common and cost-effective methods used to transfer motion in a drive system. synchronous timing belts, with their defined pattern and evenly spaced teeth, mate with matching timing belt pulleys and idlers to drive motion in precision equipment. When synchronization between shafts is not a priority, V- belts are an excellent alternative. V-belts ride in the groove of compatible V-belt pulleys and idlers. Flat belts find considerable usage in applications requiring small pulley diameters, high belt surface speeds, low noise levels, low weight, and inertia. Round belts or O-Rings are used with grooved pulleys. A cable drive system is another means of transmitting synchronous motion. Consisting of an extremely flexible cable and uniquely grooved pulleys, the Synchromesh Drive system offers design possibilities previously not achievable. Timing belt and cable accessories, belt tensioners and tension testers assist in the maintenance and operation of a belt drive system.
