Synchronous Pulleys and Belts
Matched Synchronous Belt and Pulley Supply for OEM and Replacement Projects
A synchronous belt and pulley may look correct separately, but the drive can still fail if tooth profile, pitch, belt width, pulley groove, tooth number, bore size or center distance does not match. For OEM equipment and replacement projects, the belt and pulley should be checked as one transmission set.
Conxu can review belt markings, pulley drawings, old samples, machine photos and order requirements to confirm synchronous belts, timing belt pulleys and matched specifications for distributors, OEM equipment manufacturers, engineering projects and brand supply.
Synchronous Belt and Pulley Product Range
Synchronous pulleys and belts should be selected as a matched transmission set, not as two separate product names. The belt tooth profile and pulley groove must correspond, while size, width, bore, layout and working condition affect the final selection.
Rubber Synchronous Belts
Rubber synchronous belts are used for mechanical power transmission where belt teeth engage with pulley grooves. For replacement or OEM projects, profile, pitch, belt length, width and tooth count should be checked together with the pulley.
Open-End Synchronous Belts
Open-end synchronous belts are commonly used in linear motion, automation equipment and long-travel systems. Belt length, tooth profile, clamping method, pulley arrangement and working load should be confirmed before production.
Double-Sided Synchronous Belts
Double-sided synchronous belts are used when both belt sides need to engage with pulleys. These projects require checking two-side tooth structure, pitch, pulley position, tension direction and machine layout.
Coated Synchronous Belts
Coated synchronous belts are selected when the belt surface needs additional grip, product contact, feeding support or surface protection. Coating material, thickness, hardness, backing and application details should be reviewed before quotation.
Synchronous Pulleys
Synchronous pulleys should be matched with belt tooth profile, pitch, width and drive layout. Pulley tooth number, outside diameter, bore, flange, keyway, hub style and drawing requirements should be confirmed when needed.
Matched Belt and Pulley Sets
For OEM equipment, replacement projects and engineering modifications, belts and pulleys can be reviewed together. This helps reduce mismatch caused by selecting only the belt code or only the pulley drawing.
How to Confirm Synchronous Pulleys and Belts Before Quotation
A synchronous belt and pulley quote should be based on the complete drive relationship. If the belt profile, pulley groove, pitch or drive layout is unclear, the selected parts may not fit or run correctly.
For replacement projects, old belt markings and pulley photos are often more useful than product names alone. For OEM projects, drawings, pulley parameters and equipment layout should be checked before confirming the final specification.

| Order Details | Quantity, packaging, OEM/ODM or future batch order requirement |
Belt and Pulley Profile Matching
The core of a synchronous belt drive is tooth engagement. A belt may have the correct length, but if the tooth profile, pitch or pulley groove does not match, the drive may have noise, wear, poor tracking or unstable transmission.
Tooth Profile Must Match
The belt tooth profile should match the pulley groove profile. HTD, STD, STS, RPP, RHP, T, AT and GT should be treated as profile systems, not as simple model names.
Pitch Controls Engagement
Pitch defines the spacing between belt teeth. If the belt pitch and pulley pitch are different, the belt cannot engage correctly with the pulley, even when the belt width or length seems close.
Pulley Tooth Number Affects Belt Selection
Pulley tooth number, pulley diameter and center distance can affect belt length, wrap angle and installation space. These details are especially important for replacement projects and machine modifications.
Belt Width and Pulley Width Work Together
Belt width and pulley width should be checked together. A belt that is too wide or too narrow for the pulley may create fit, tracking or edge-wear problems during operation.
Profile and Series Checks for Matched Supply
Profile and series names should be separated clearly before quotation. This helps avoid mixing tooth profile systems with inch-pitch model series, especially when multiple belt and pulley specifications are requested together.
Curvilinear Profile Systems
Curvilinear profile systems are used in many synchronous belt drive projects where positive engagement and pulley compatibility are important. ISO 13050:2022 can be used as a technical reference for metric pitch curvilinear synchronous endless belts and pulleys in G, H, R and S profile systems. This supports checking belt tooth profile, pitch, pulley groove and belt width together before selection.
T and AT Metric Profile Systems
T and AT timing belts belong to metric pitch synchronous belt systems. ISO 17396:2024 can be used as a technical reference for synchronous endless and open-ended belts and pulleys of T and AT profile systems. For OEM or replacement projects, T and AT belts should be checked together with the corresponding pulley profile.
Classical Inch-Pitch Series
MXL, XL, L, H, XH and XXH should be treated as inch-pitch trapezoidal belt sections when applicable. MPTA ARPM belt drive resources list IP-24 Synchronous Belts covering MXL, XL, L, H, XH and XXH belt sections, so these series should not be mixed at the same level as HTD, T, AT or GT profile systems.
Pulley Details Before Production
Pulley groove profile, tooth number, outside diameter, bore, width, flange and keyway can affect belt selection. When the pulley is custom-made or replaced from an old part, drawings or clear photos should be checked before production confirmation.
Replacement Review for Existing Belt and Pulley Systems
Replacement projects often start with incomplete information. The old belt marking may be worn, the pulley drawing may be missing, or the machine may have been modified during maintenance.
Old Belt Marking Check
Old belt markings can help identify profile, pitch length, width or tooth count. Even partial markings can be useful when compared with belt photos and pulley information.
Old Belt Sample Review
A physical belt sample can help confirm tooth profile, width, tooth shape, wear condition and possible structure. This is useful when the belt code is missing or the original supplier is unknown.
Pulley Drawing or Photo Review
Pulley drawings and photos help check groove profile, tooth number, bore, flange, keyway, wear condition and possible mismatch. For matched supply, pulley information should be reviewed together with the belt.
Machine Layout Check
Center distance, pulley position, tension method, running direction and installation space affect belt selection. Machine layout details are useful when the old belt cannot be measured accurately.
