Are you also tired of increasing energy prices? Do you want to eradicate noise and vibration in your drive systems? Then Continental SilentSync Timing Belts is for you as this self-tracking timing belt lets you enjoy quieter operations with their helical toothing. The belt's helical teeth are combined with an aramid tension member and strong rubber for several advantages. Silent Sync can also withstand high temperatures and has a high power capacity making it a valuable asset for your organization. But this innovative belt is still shrouded in a lot of mystery as people are unaware of the advantages it can bring to any organization. So we took it on ourselves to uncover some of them in this blog. Read on to gain more insights on Continental SilentSync Timing Belts.

What makes Continental SilentSync different from other synchronous belts?

This innovative design makes a low-noise drive system possible with high power. It is a definite upgrade over other synchronous belts as it has properties which make them stand apart from them. Some of those properties are:

• Very low-noise
• Electrically conductive to ISO 9563
• Conditionally resistant to oil
• Ozone-resistant
• Aging-resistant
• Maintenance-free

SilentSync is an energy-efficient alternative to V-belt drives, where extreme noise makes timing belts difficult to use and reduces drive size as well. It is a multipurpose belt which solves multiple purposes at once. Its signature v-shaped teeth, also referred to as HOT or Helical Offset Tooth, play a key role in reducing noise as compared to its straight tooth synchronous counterparts. It has the following advantages over its straight tooth equivalents:

• This belt is up to 19 dB quieter than a typical synchronous belt. This is a substantial improvement, especially in robotics, which has people and high-speed drives operating nearby, and noise nuisance is reduced.
• When compared with the conventional synchronous belts, these belts show up to 80% more strength, and in comparison with the raw-edged premium v-belts of the same width, they show a 50% higher performance and strength. As a result, it is possible to reduce V-belt system widths and, thus, reduce system costs.
• The signature helical toothing eliminates the polygon effect, significantly reducing vibrations in operation. As a result, it helps in increasing the efficiency by at least 98%.

Why choose a Continental SilentSync belt?

SilentSync is not your regular synchronous drive system as it brings so much to the table, which makes it a powerful upgrade to a conventional sync belt. With 80% more power capacity and static conductivity, it has emerged as one of the most seamless and smoothest synchronous drive packages. The SilentSync belt improves workforce conditions and eliminates the extra costs associated with making drives.

Below are some of the advantages it can bring to your organization:

• Reduced noise and vibration
• Increased position accuracy
• It is self-tracking and does not require flanges
• Higher power rating
• Increased mechanical efficiency
• Less bearing loads
• Reduced downtime and maintenance requirements
