Measure the center-to-center distance between your two pulleys, then calculate the required belt path length. For open-end belts, the perimeter listed is the total usable length of the belt segment. For a quick inch conversion, divide the mm value by 25.4 — for example, 2400mm ÷ 25.4 ≈ 94.5". When in doubt, size up to allow for tensioner adjustment.

Polyurethane timing belts with steel-cord reinforcement generally support higher tensile loads than standard neoprene belts of the same width. The exact working tension depends on pitch, pulley diameter, and operating speed. Contact us to confirm suitability for your specific load requirements.

Polyurethane is generally more resistant to oils, greases, and mild chemicals than rubber. It typically performs well in light-moisture environments. For prolonged outdoor UV exposure or immersion, contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific conditions.

This is an open-end polyurethane timing belt. The specific tooth profile (e.g., T5, T10, AT5, AT10, or HTD) and pitch should be confirmed against your pulley specifications before ordering. Please contact us with your pulley details if you need confirmation.

Yes — open-end timing belts are designed to be cut to your required length. Use a sharp utility knife or belt cutter guided by a straight edge to ensure a clean, square cut. Always cut between tooth pitches to maintain accurate tooth count at the splice point.

Compatibility depends on the tooth pitch and profile of your pulleys. This belt is 30mm wide; your pulley groove width should match or exceed 30mm. Confirm the pitch (e.g., T5, T10, AT, HTD) of your existing pulleys before ordering. Contact us if you need help matching.

A closed-loop belt forms a continuous ring used on fixed center-distance drives. An open-end belt is a straight length that can be cut and joined, making it ideal for linear motion systems, conveyor applications, and custom drive configurations where installing a closed loop is impractical.
