The best quality polyurethane belts are manufactured considering industry requirements for a specific niche to make close-tolerance belts. Polyurethane belts ensure uniform load distribution for transmitting high torque. The high accuracy of a timing belt is highly suitable for applications such as conveying drives, indexing, and positioning drives. 

These drives help in synchronous running alongside a maintenance-free operation that makes them polyurethane timing belts with different power transmission ranges.

Application Conjunctions with Timing Pulleys

You can also consider ordering a timing pulley alongside the timing belt for complete drives. The best manufacturers have a popular stock range and can manufacture industry-specific pulleys and belts per drawing for various profiles and pitches. Timing pulleys are made from free standard materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, plastics and the free-machining aluminium alloy (6082-T6). 

Pulleys are created in several ways to match the operations applications. Typically, we have a smooth pulley belt in combination with power transmission. Furthermore, this belt generates a force on the pulley’s surface that is often ribbed and leads to gear body rotation. Traditional belts could help in variable speed operation, but their ribbed surface led to timing risk and slippage. 

On the other hand, timing belt pulleys work with timing belts to give synchronous motion that can align with the movement of the different gear shafts. As a result, these systems are synchronous and provide longevity while emitting, giving a noiseless operation. 

Application areas of Polyurethane Timing Belts

Polyurethane timing belts are helpful in several industries requiring synchronous angular motion transmissions. These versatile timing belts are highly suitable for various kinds of power transmission such as conveying, indexing and positioning in different sectors such as office machinery, Machine tools such as Woodworking machinery, and data processing machinery. There are also two other industries where polyurethane timing belt proves highly useful:

• Food processing machinery
• Textile machinery

You can order a polyurethane belt cut to the size you need. The best manufacturers offer a wide range of PU Timing Belt Sleeves, cutting them per the width specifications.

Features & Benefits of Polyurethane Timing Belts

Polyurethane belts provide consistent dimensional stability and have a low pre-tension value. They are the best option when you need low noise in your production house. The belts are low-maintenance utilities with a high level of flexibility and high abrasion resistance. 

Polyurethane belts can get linear speed of up to 80 m/s. They are beneficial in the food industry as they are highly resistant to fats, oils and greases. 

Conclusion

A polyurethane timing belt is reinforced with a material that provides higher shock resistance. It can be reinforced by using specific materials that strengthen the belt and give it higher flexibility and durability. Whenever there is a need to protect your system from intermittent shock loading, it is advisable to use a polyurethane timing belt.
