polyurethane timing belts

Belt sizes, including the 5PK designation, are crucial for ensuring compatibility with pulleys and proper function in your machinery. The size of a V-belt is usually denoted in terms of width and length. For instance, a 5PK belt has a width of 17mm (millimeters) and a specific length measurement that varies according to the application. The length of the belt is usually measured in millimeters as well, and it is represented by a number that indicates the belt's circumference.

Synchronous belts are made of reinforced rubber or polymer materials with teeth that align with corresponding grooves on pulleys. This design allows synchronous belts to transmit power between shafts with minimal slippage, ensuring that the movement of the driven component is directly proportional to that of the driving component. Unlike traditional V-belts, which rely on friction for power transfer, synchronous belts offer a more precise and reliable means of transferring energy.
