Polyurethane timing belts have wider
appeal
Polyurethane timing belts are now available in widths up to 800mm - the widest commercially available timing belt in the UK.
Transdev has been producing extra wide polyurethane timing belts as a slip-free alternative to flat belt conveying systems for several years The wide timing belt range was previously available in customer specified widths of up to 450mm but thanks to a newly developed manufacturing process, the maximum width has been extended to 800mm, making it the widest commercially available timing belt in the UK

Clips protect chains and goods from each other
Transdev clip-on parts ensure delicate goods are protected against damage by the chain system, while also ensuring a slip-free conveyance process.
Belt handles coins for banking applications
Reis Eurosystems use a BrecoR Power 250 XL series timing belt with a Linatrile backing that provides the friction and grip necessary to continuously move and separate coins under the sensors.
Available in T10 profile with Kevlar tension members for exceptional strength and negligible stretch characteristics, the new range can be supplied in lengths of up to 80m for applications requiring tight synchronisation of product to process such as on-the-fly packaging, labelling and automated assembly.
The wide timing belt range can also be used as an alternative to traditional chain drives where reduced noise, superior corrosion resistance, excellent anti bacterial properties and elimination of retensioning are positive benefits.
As with all timing belt products from Transdev, the wide timing belt range can be supplied with over 20 special backings for matching friction and/or antistatic properties.
Precision ground finishes and welded profiles can also be included for product positioning and product nests.
Vacuum holes and slots for securing components can be machined to suit and pushers and flights can be added to facilitate the customers' manufacturing process.
For wide timing belt requirements in all other standard metric and imperial pitches, Transdev have also developed an advanced process for longitudinally welding single belts to achieve a double-width option.
Through the range, this process allows a 300mm width for AT20 belts and 150mm widths for AT5.
Timing belt widths can also be customised to suit application requirements.
Transdev also supply the UK's largest range of matching pulleys for standard and customised timing belt applications and offer cost and quality alternatives from four long-term partners based in the Far East and Eastern Europe as well as providing its own in-house design and manufacture service.
Specialist wide pulleys are available for fast delivery using Transdev's 24-hour manufacturing plant in Poole UK.
