BANDO

BANDO Synchro-Link® belts are standard trapezoidal-tooth timing belts available in XL and L sections, with nylon coating and fiberglass reinforcement. Synchro-Link® HT belts are high-torque versions with a curvilinear tooth profile (HTD) designed for higher load capacity and reduced backlash. The HT series uses fiberglass or polyester cords and is available in 8 mm pitch sizes. Both series are closed-loop and come in single-sided or dual-sided configurations.

BANDO timing belts typically feature a nylon coating on the tooth side for reduced friction and wear, or a polyurethane coating for oil resistance and flexibility. The reinforcing cords are made of fiberglass or polyester, depending on the belt series. Fiberglass cords provide high tensile strength and low stretch, while polyester cords offer good flexibility and fatigue resistance. The belt body is made from rubber compound or polyurethane, depending on the specific product.

BANDO metric V-belts are designated by section (e.g., SPZ, SPB) and outside length in millimeters. For example, SPB2650 indicates an SPB section belt with a 2,650 mm outside length. The top width and thickness vary by section: SPZ belts have a 9.5 mm top width and 8 mm thickness, while SPB belts have a 16 mm top width and 13.5 mm thickness. Ensure the belt section matches the pulley groove profile and that the length fits the center distance of your drive system.

Yes, BANDO dual-sided timing belts (e.g., Synchro-Link® two-sided belts in XL or L sections) are designed for serpentine or reverse-bend drives where the belt contacts pulleys on both sides. These belts have teeth on both the inner and outer surfaces, allowing them to transmit power from multiple pulleys in a compact layout. They are available with nylon coating and closed-loop construction.

BANDO trapezoidal timing belts are available in standard pitches: 0.2 inches (XL section), 0.375 inches (L section), and 10 mm (T10 section). The XL section belts have a top width of 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch, while L section belts have top widths of 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch. T10 section belts have a 25 mm top width. These belts are suitable for light to medium-duty synchronization applications.

BANDO belts are constructed from rubber compound or polyurethane materials that can withstand typical industrial operating temperatures. For specific high-temperature applications, the polyurethane-coated belts (e.g., T10 section with fiberglass reinforcement) offer better heat resistance than standard rubber belts. However, always consult the manufacturer's temperature ratings for the specific belt series and material to ensure compatibility with your operating conditions.
