Timing belts

Timing belts are toothed belts that mesh with pulleys of the same pitch and deliver synchronized motion without slippage. They are chosen when the transmission ratio must remain exact and space is limited, such as in automation, printing, packaging or positioning. The pitch and profile, width and length are defined, and the pulley must be of the same profile.

In SKF, the part number includes length, profile and width: PHG 1000-5M-15 is a belt 1000 mm long, 5M profile (5 mm pitch) and 15 mm wide, and PHG 1000-8M-20 is 8M profile, with 8 mm pitch. In DODGE, 60XL025 indicates 60 teeth, XL profile (5.08 mm pitch) and 0.25 inch width; 70XL025 follows the same logic. The designations HTD, HT250, HT500 and DYNA-SYNC are DODGE's own and must be requested complete.

They are used in precision drives of machine tools, packaging, textile, food, printing and automation industries, and in pumps, compressors and fans that require constant speed. The belt must operate with the tension specified by the manufacturer: insufficient tension causes tooth jumping and excessive tension shortens the life of the belt and bearings.

We work with SKF and DODGE timing belts. Send us the complete part number via WhatsApp or email, or if you don't have it, the profile, pitch, length and width taken from the old belt. If you have the equivalence from another brand, send it too: we will indicate the corresponding belt and provide you with a quote promptly.
