Because of their high-quality components, Continental SYNCHROFLEX Timing Belts produce high outputs. The high power output potential is built on the excellent bond between the hard-wearing polyurethane teeth and the constant-length galvanized steel tension members. Synchroflex belts are used where electrostatic charges are not desired or are prohibited, such as when transporting electronic components, drives, and/or conveying equipment in a flammable environment. Below are some of the important uses of Continental Synchroflex Timing Belts.

Electrostatic charges

Electric charges can be expected where timing belts, e. g. pulley, and timing belt, are involved due to the continuous separation of two contact surfaces. This electric charge can be significant and as high as implying the risk of ignition at the time of discharge. The value of the electric charge is determined by the materials used to make the timing belt, synchronous pulley, tension roller, and/or support roller. It rises with increasing belt speed, belt pretension, and contact surface width.

Antistatic properties

Electric charges are reliably avoided by SYNCHROFLEX Timing Belts. Surface resistance must be less than 3.108Ω according to DIN 22104 "Antistatic conveyor belts." Synchroflex antistatic timing belts have a surface resistance of R ≤ 106 Ω.

Quality assurance

Conductivity is measured with flexible electrodes that meet ISO 9563 standards. The wear resistance of the layer is checked on a test belt for timing belts with antistatic facing upon request. A sufficiently high wear resistance and/or conductivity are guaranteed if the wear resistance test reveals a surface resistance of R ≤ 106 Ω. Because the conductivity of the antistatic timing belts can deteriorate during extended operation and possible wear, regular checks of the resistance values are required.

High performance

Synchroflex timing belts are designed specifically for high-performance applications. They can handle the extreme temperature, load, and speed conditions that are found in industrial applications. Synchroflex timing belts offer an excellent solution for your industrial machine needs. Synchroflex Timing Belts are used in all fields where reliability and efficiency are important factors such as engine synchronization, automatic transmission systems, power generation equipment, and many more.

Industrial applications

Continental Synchroflex Timing Belt is designed for all industrial applications. It is used in the automotive, aerospace, and agricultural industries as well as construction and mining industries. The timing belt has a wide range of applications because it can be used in all types of industries that require a high level of precision. In addition to its durability, the timing belt also has low friction properties so it doesn't require much maintenance or lubrication during operation; this makes them ideal for use in harsh environments such as oil rigs or factories where there is constant exposure to dirt from other machinery components (e.g., grinding wheels).

Conclusion

A Continental Synchroflex Timing belt is a key component that allows an engine to run at its maximum efficiency. Synchroflex belts not only control the movement of pistons and valves but also prevent them from striking each other.
