A timing belt drive is an ideal linear drive mechanism for many applications providing some of the following benefits;

• Practically maintenance free
• High speed capabilities
• Easy installation
• Direct drive without slip
• Able to run in dirty environments
• Quiet running

Linear Motion specialise in open ended and endless urethan and rubber timing belts. A large selection of pulleys and clamping plates are also available to complete a timing belt linear drive. We can recommend a timing belt drive to suit most applications and stock a range suitable for many industrial situations. We can also have custom pulleys manufactured to your specification.

Our recommended profile is 8M with an RPP8 belt. This pitch has a wide power capability and the RPP8 belt has low noise, ridged and stiff steel cords and low backlash. When combined with our stock aluminium pulleys they provide an accurate, highly response drive system. For the best way to mount timing pulleys to drive shafts check out our friction bushes here.
