SKF PHG DB-T polyurethane belts are double-toothed timing belts made of polyurethane reinforced with steel cords. They are used to transmit motion between timing pulleys with exact synchronization, without slipping, in tight spaces and at high speeds. Their T5 or T10 profile and defined pitch make them suitable for applications requiring precision and abrasion resistance, such as in the food, textile or packaging industry.

The designation of these belts is read in parts. PHG DB identifies the category of double-toothed polyurethane belts. Then the profile appears, for example T5 or T10, which indicates the shape and pitch of the tooth: in the examples, T10 corresponds to a 10 mm pitch. Then comes the length in millimeters, as in PHG DB-T5-550-10, where 550 is the length. The last number is the width in millimeters: 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 or 25, among the usual cases. Thus, PHG DB-T5-500-10 is a T5 profile belt, 500 mm long and 10 mm wide.

These belts are used in drives where slipping is not allowed and the speed ratio must be maintained. They are common in machines in the food industry, packaging machines, labeling machines, textile equipment, industrial printers and positioning systems. In Argentina, they are found in production lines that require cleanliness and resistance to chemical agents, since polyurethane tolerates washing and certain lubricants well. They are also used in linear motion applications and in compact equipment where a chain would be too heavy or noisy.

To select correctly, take into account the profile and pitch: they must match the timing pulley. The width is chosen according to the power to be transmitted and the available space. The double toothing allows the belt to work on both sides, useful in drives with reverse pulleys. Check pulley alignment and proper tension: a poorly tensioned belt accelerates wear. Lubrication is not necessary, but it is advisable to keep the area clean. If the environment has oils or greases, polyurethane offers good resistance, although chemical compatibility must be checked.

Polyurethane belts with T5 and T10 profile are interchangeable between brands as long as the pitch, profile and width match. It is not enough for the length to be similar: the pitch must be exactly the same for it to mesh correctly. When requesting a quote, provide the full code shown on the original belt or in the equipment manual. If you do not have it, we can help you identify it with a sample or by measuring the pitch and width.
