Timing Belts
- Wide speed range, especially important when the entire speed range is developed from a single source
- Virtually no elongation (stretching) due to wear
- High mechanical efficiency, as much as 98% when properly maintained. By contrast, chain drives are in the 91-98% efficiency range, while V-Belts average in the 93-98% range.
- Power transmission efficiency is not lost with use
- Clean operation, no need for lubrication
- Reduced noise
- Long, dependable trouble-free service
- Excellent abrasion resistance
- Rust resistant
- Resists chemicals and contaminants
- Increased drive design options
- Weight savings
- Safety issues
