Polyurethane timing belts

Construction

BRECO®, BRECOFLEX® and CONTI® SYNCHROFLEX timing belts are manufactured from wear resistant polyurethane and high tensile steel cord tension members. Both high quality materials combine to form the basis for dimensionally stable and high durable polyurethane timing belts. Polyurethane timing belts have a very high longitudinal stiffness and no post-elongation of the tension members is to be expected in continuous operation. Only under extreme loading conditions and as a precausion after a brief run-in, a small loss of tension may necessitate a once-only retensioning.

The timing belts are temperature resistant with ambient temperatures from -30 °C to 80 °C. However, applications close to these temperatures limits (<-10 °C and >50 °C), may require adapted dimensioning. Please contact your Mulco Sales Partner for this type of application.

The BRECO®, BRECOFLEX® and CONTI® SYNCHROFLEX polyurethane timing belts are manufactured using production methods that maintain very high tolerances to ensure a uniform load distribution during power transmission and precise positioning applications of the combination of both. These polyurethane timing belts are suitable for the transmission of high torques as well as for the precise positioning and transport of a wide variety of goods.

Note corrections to the permissible load values where deviations from the standard values occur.
