SYNCHRONOUS BELTS

QUIET, EFFICIENT AND MAINTENANCE FREE OPERATION

Panther, Panther XT and Synchro-Cog synchronous drive systems offer quiet, efficient and maintenance free operation. Carlisle belts by Timken save time, money and energy. In high torque, high tension tests, Carlisle belts consistently outperformed competitive belts.

ACHE Belt

ACHE Belt

ACHE (Air-Cooled Heat Exchanger) belts have a special “Z” twist construction designed specifically for air-cooled heat exchangers. Because the ACHE drive has a vertical shaft, the ACHE belt is built with “Z” twist cords only. This gives the belt an upward direction of lateral movement which reduces excessive wear on the bottom side of the belt. The energy efficient ACHE synchronous belt performs at 98% operating efficiency for reduced energy consumption.

Features/Advantages

  • Special “Z” twist construction
  • Shrugs off shock loads by incorporating a non-aramid fiber tensile belt component that delivers strength and dimensional stability
  • Uniquely engineered RPP profile teeth are made of an advanced polymer compound which increases the strength and abrasion resistance of the teeth
  • Higher power ratings than conventional rubber synchronous belts
  • Backed by our Iron Clad Guarantee

Applications

  • Specifically designed for air-cooled heat exchangers.

Sizes

  • 14M pitch in standard sizes

Dual Synchronous Belt

Proven performance from both sides of the belt for greater flexibility and efficiency in your drive design. The dual sided construction allows 100% load capacity on both sides for serpentine style synchronous drives. The belt features an advanced polymer construction, strong fiberglass cords, and a wear resistant nylon tooth facing.

Features/Advantages

  • Provides greater shear resistance and load capacity
  • Tooth design allows for smoother, quieter operation
  • 100% load capacity on both sides of the belt
  • Backed by our Iron Clad Guarantee

Applications

  • Printing presses, mixers, agitators, industrial machinery and more

Sizes

Panther® Belt

Panther belts are designed to improve performance and drive life while reducing maintenance and downtime. The energy efficient Panther belt offers higher torque capacity than the Carlisle Synchro-Cog HT belt and conventional synchronous belts. Panther belts are designed with a non-aramid fiber tensile member that delivers strength and dimensional stability. Uniquely engineered teeth are made of an advanced polymer compound which increases both the strength and abrasion resistance of the teeth. Panther belts provide power transmission with less wear, less noise and less maintenance from a less expensive and more compact drive.

Features/Advantages

  • High performance advanced polymer compound for longer belt life
  • Graphite impregnated fabric facing for improved wear resistance
  • Optimized cord for high torque loading
  • Reduced tension decay
  • Jump and shear resistant
  • Shock absorbing
  • Reduced noise
  • Superior performance in HTS®, PowerGrip® GT®2 and RPP® sprockets
  • Backed by our Iron Clad Guarantee

Applications

  • Conveyors, blowers, paper converting equipment, printing machinery, paper mills, textile equipment, HVACR, packaging equipment, machine tools, centrifuges, exercise equipment, industrial machinery, and more

Sizes

  • 8M, 14M and 20M pitch from 19" to 195"

Panther®XT Belt

A powerful alternative to chain or a drop-in replacement for polyurethane belts, Panther XT belts are engineered to run quietly and efficiently in the harshest environments. Carbon cord construction and abrasion-resistant, low friction tooth fabric provide strength and durability, and help reduce downtime, maintenance, and noise levels. Constructed with a high temperature and oil resistant polymer, Panther XT belts provide high thermal stability and excellent overall chemical resistance. Carbon fiber cord resists stretch and maintains outstanding belt tension stability over the life of the belt.

Features/Advantages

  • High tensile strength for superior load capacity
  • Increased durability for extended belt life
  • High drive efficiency and energy savings
  • Compact drive layout
  • Low maintenance
  • Lower noise (compared to chain and polyurethane belts)
  • Environmental benefits (no lubrication required)
  • Operation at speeds higher than most chain drives
  • Abrasion, wear and chemical resistance
  • Improved temperature operating range (better than polyurethane belts)
  • Heat resistant up to 120ºC/248ºF
  • Backed by our Iron Clad Guarantee

Applications

  • Roller chain applications, paper converting equipment, printing machinery, paper mills, textile equipment, HVACR, packaging equipment, conveyors, exercise equipment, industrial machinery, and more

Sizes

  • Pitch lengths: 640-4480 (8M) and 994-4410 (14M) standard widths

Synchro-Cog® HT Belt

Synchro-Cog HT belts are designed to deliver trouble-free power transmission with a smooth and quiet drive system. HT belts are made of treated fiberglass cord to assure length stability and high tensile strength. The teeth are precisely formed and accurately spaced for smooth, uniform transfer of power and resistance to shear. The rubber backing provides resistance to ozone, grease, heat build-up, sunlight and flex fatigue.

Features/Advantages

Applications

  • Conveyors, blowers, paper converting equipment, printing machinery, paper mills, textile equipment, HVACR, packaging equipment, machine tools, exercise equipment, compressors, industrial machinery, and more
