Common types of materials for timing belts:
Rubber Material:
Traditional timing belts are made of rubber. Most are cam belts for internal combustion
engines and are widely used in the automotive industry.
The rubber compounds used in modern timing belts increase other properties of the
timing belt, including high tensile strength and the teeth are not easy to shear off.
Polyurethane Material:
Polyurethane timing belt is oil-resistant, wear-resistant, chemical-resistant, easy to
clean and maintain. It is superior to rubber belts and offers a long-lasting and high
energy-efficient machine transmission product, and wide range of applications.
Fabric Material:
The material of the fabric timing belt is made of a combination of multiple fabrics in a
specific ratio. The extremely low friction coefficient and extremely wide temperature
resistance limit, excellent tensile strength and tear resistance make it suitable for
extremely harsh working environments.
