Construction Features
The tooth design substantially improves stress
distribution and allows heavy loading. The molded
teeth enter and leave the sprocket grooves smoothly
with negligible friction – functioning in much the
same way as teeth on a gear.
Construction consists of these components:
1. Tensile Member – Provides high strength,
excellent flex life and high resistance to
elongation.
2. Neoprene Backing – Strong Neoprene
bonded to the tensile member for protection
against grime, oil and moisture. It also protects
from frictional wear if idlers are used on the
back of the belt.
3. Neoprene Teeth – Shear-resistant Neoprene
compound is molded integrally with the
Neoprene backing. They are precisely formed
and accurately spaced to assure smooth
meshing with the sprocket grooves.

4. Nylon Facing – Tough nylon fabric with a low
coefficient of friction covers the wearing
surfaces of the belt. It protects the tooth
surfaces and provides a durable wearing surface
for long service.
