What is a sync belt?

Synchronous belt, also known as positive chain belt, synchronous belt drive is a transmission mode using lattice synchronous belt and belt wheel interlocking. It is characterized by high transmission accuracy, high transmission efficiency, stable work, large speed ratio range, low noise, transmission speed up to 3000m/min, torque up to 500N·m, widely used in mechanical equipment, automobiles, electronic equipment and other fields.

The structure of the synchronous belt is generally made of rubber or polyurethane material, with a certain distance of teeth, and the teeth on the belt wheel are mutually inserted, through the bite of the teeth to form a synchronous drive. The synchronous belt transmission adopts the force mode between the teeth, and the transmission is smooth and does not slide, so the transmission efficiency is high and the transmission error will not occur.

The advantages of synchronous belt transmission include high transmission accuracy, smooth operation, low noise, large speed ratio range, can carry large torque, long service life and so on. However, the synchronous belt drive also has limitations, such as the high geometric size requirements of the belt wheel and synchronous belt, more complex installation and adjustment, suitable for more sophisticated transmission systems. In addition, the service life of the synchronization belt will be affected by environmental temperature, humidity, chemicals and other factors.

In short, synchronous belt transmission has important application value in mechanical transmission, which can achieve precise transmission requirements and improve transmission efficiency and operation stability.
