Hansheng Automation's timing belts are specifically designed for packaging machinery manufacturers. We have just delivered a batch of different types of timing belts to a packaging machinery customer in the Netherlands. Timing belts are the most common consumables on production and manufacturing lines and therefore require regular replacement. We not only provide various types of timing belts, but also cam indexers, the core transmission components that enable precise positioning in packaging machinery, as well as gears, CNC machined parts, precision castings, and more, forming a complete parts supply solution.
Rubber Timing Belt (XL Type) Product Features
Material and Structural Advantages
The body is made of chloroprene rubber, which makes it very resistant to wear and tear and weather (ozone resistance, wide temperature range). The fibre core gives it a lot of tensile strength, which keeps the belt from bending too much during gearbox and makes it work more reliably over time. Compatible with the XL standard tooth profile (pitch P = 5.08mm), it has a very accurate tooth profile that makes meshing tighter, which lowers the chance of tooth slippage and skipping.
Balanced Transmission Performance
Supports multiple width specifications (Imperial codes 025/031/037/050, corresponding to widths of 6.4/7.9/9.5/12.7mm), flexibly adapting to applications from light to heavy loads; transmission efficiency exceeds 95%, with low operating noise (≤65dB), meeting the requirements of precision equipment for quiet and efficient operation.
Adaptability and reliability
Standardised tooth profile specifications (tooth profile angle 2θ=50°, tooth height h=1.27mm, etc.) that work with most XL-type pulleys make installation and replacement easy. The tooth root radius r=0.38mm design spreads out stress, lowers the risk of breaking, and extends the life of the product.

Application Areas
Automation Equipment: Sorting machines, servo motor drive systems (e.g., 3C electronics production lines), relying on the precise transmission of XL synchronous belts to ensure synchronized motion (e.g., gripping, conveying).
Small machine tools: Indexing mechanisms for milling machines and drilling machines, where the XL tooth profile's meshing precision (tooth pitch 5.08 mm) supports consistent processing dimensions.
Packaging machinery: Labeling machines and film slitting machines, utilizing the wear resistance of XL-type rubber synchronous belts to adapt to high-speed (≤30 m/s) and high-frequency start-stop conditions.
Textile machinery: Winding machines and spinning machine roller drives, fiber core tensile strength, maintaining stable tension to prevent yarn breakage.
3C electronics: Printers and testing equipment (such as smartphone screen laminating machines), narrow width specifications (e.g., 025 width) suitable for compact spaces, ensuring micro-transmission precision.
FAQ
Q: How to select XL synchronous belts (tooth count and width)?
A: Tooth count is based on the gearbox ratio (drive pulley/driven pulley tooth count) and the circumference requirements (circumference = tooth count tooth pitch 5.08 mm). The most important thing is that it matches the original equipment's specifications.
Width: See the load (torque, power). 025 (6.4mm) is good for low loads, like 3C equipment, and 050 (12.7mm) is good for large loads, such machine tools. You can also use the formula for calculating the load on a synchronous belt to check your work.
Q: What factors affect the service life of XL-type rubber synchronous belts?
A: Environment: High temperatures (above 80°C) and humidity speed up the ageing of rubber;
Load: Going beyond the recommended torque might cause slippage and damage on the tooth surface.
Installation: If the pulleys aren't parallel or if the tension is too high or too low, the meshing can be bad.
Maintenance: Oil getting on the belt body or not cleaning up dust that builds up on time can both affect the life of the belt.
Q: What should be noted during installation?
A: Alignment: Ensure pulley parallelism ≤0.5° to prevent tooth surface wear;
Tensioning: Press the belt body with your fingers, controlling deflection to 10–15mm (loose for light loads, tight for heavy loads);
Protection: Avoid sharp edge scratches; initial operation recommends 15 minutes of idle running-in.
Q: Can it be replaced with other tooth profiles (e.g., L-type)?
A: No! The pitch of an XL tooth is 5.08 mm, while the pitch of an L-type tooth is usually 9.525 mm. The sizes of the tooth profiles, such as the height of the tooth and the breadth of the tooth root, are also not the same. If you force a replacement, the meshing will fail and the belt teeth will skip. You need to match the XL teeth exactly.
Q: How should it be maintained daily?
A: Cleaning: Use a soft towel to wipe it down; don't use solvents like petrol, which can damage rubber.
Inspection:Check for wear on the tooth surface (damage, cracks) and ageing on the belt (cracks, hardening) on a regular basis.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Don't fold or squeeze it; hanging it up is best.
