General Information

Advantages of Timing Belts Over		Flat Belts Positive drive Perfect synchronization, exact timing No slippage Little or no re-tensioning Less maintenance Chains No lubrication needed Higher speeds Less noise Holds product more gently Less maintenance Plastic Modular Belts Less maintenance Easier to clean More hygienic Less noise

Tracking		Generally, pulleys with flanges are suitable for tracking. However, on conveyors with center distances more than 10 times the width of the belt, a self-tracking V-guide may be required. Also, belts with a center distance equal to or less than the width of the belt will also require a self-tracking V-guide. Various V-guide sizes may be used (see "Urethane Timing Belts") for specifications on urethane belts. These belts are designated H-XW and T10-XW.
