Timing belt, HTD, synchronous, curvilinear tooth, 8M pitch, 100 tooth, 800 x 30 mm, Gates.

These metric pitch belts have a curvilinear tooth profile which enables the strength of high tensile load bearing cords to be fully utilised. The shape of teeth gives more uniform stress distribution and allows higher overall loading. The belt teeth are precisely formed and accurately spaced to ensure correct engagement with teeth on the pulleys. Tooth root lines lie substantially on pitch line, thus circular pitch is not altered while flexing. These belts do not depend on the thickness to develop high tensile strength. Being thin, heat build up is minimised without sacrificing inherent power transmission capacity. 3M and 5M belts are suitable for domestic appliances, office machines, electric hand tools and for applications in the processing and chemical industry. 8M and 14M belts are used in high performance drives in the machine tool, paper and textile industries where durability and low maintenance are required.
