Synchro-Link ® Timing Belts
When synchronization of the driveN and driveR speed is required, Synchro-Link ® Timing Belts give unsurpassed efficiency,
economy and performance and are available in both inch (RMA) and metric dimensions. BANDO timing belts
offer these advantages:
Popular Profiles – Available in the high torque, low noise STS profile, the widely used HT curvilinear profile and the
traditional Trapezoidal profile.
Non-Slip, Positive Performance — Belt-pulley compatibility and close manufacturing tolerances assure that belt
teeth mesh precisely with pulley grooves for constant output speed without skipping, vibration or speed variation.
Extremely energy efficient - Studies by the US Department of Energy have found that synchronous belt drives are
over 99% energy efficient, leading to lower operating costs.
Low Maintenance/Economical Operation — Because timing belts do not require re-tensioning and, unlike gears
or chain, require no lubrication, they are ideal for applications where maintenance is difficult and downtime is costly.
Low Tension Requirements — The “tooth grip” principle of timing belts does not require high tension, so bearing
loads are minimized, resulting in longer bearing and motor life.
Wide Range of Load Capacities and Speeds — Design versatility makes timing belts the right choice for a variety
of applications. Speeds can range from 1 to over 10,000 RPM; load carrying capacity can vary from fractional to hundreds
of horsepower.
Space and Weight Savings — Drives are compact because pulleys are small and center distances are short. Per
horsepower transmitted, timing belts weigh only a fraction of alternative methods.
Clean, Quiet Operation — Noise and vibration are kept to a minimum. Clean operation is ideal for contamination
sensitive machines.
Synchro-Link ® Super Torque Timing Belts
Due to its high power transmission capabilities, quiet, smooth running
tooth meshing qualities, energy efficiency and reliability, the STS tooth
profile is widely recognized by automotive design engineers as the preferred
belt for overhead cam applications in most late model cars and
trucks. These same qualities make this generation of synchronous belts
ideal for today's high performance industrial applications.
As the tooth meshes with the pulley groove, the cord lay forms an almost
true circle, minimizing the cantilever effect on the cords, resulting in
reduced bending fatigue and longer service life.
Smooth tooth engagement and direct contact of the belt tooth and the
pulley groove enable the belt to run quietly, even at high speeds.
