HTD 8M timing belts

8M timing belts are the most frequently chosen HTD profile in industrial drives. The 8 mm pitch and rounded tooth allow high torque to be transmitted at a moderate belt width, which is why 8M belts work in machine tools, pumps, compressors, printing machines and agricultural machinery.

HTD 8M timing belts - a quiet drive without lubrication instead of a chain

An 8M drive replaces a chain where quiet running without lubrication and a constant transmission ratio matter. Premium versions with increased load capacity allow higher torque to be transmitted without widening the belt and pulleys - a way to strengthen the drive without rebuilding it.

HTD 8M timing belts in standard and Premium versions

Endless HTD 8M belts in several widths and a wide choice of lengths, in standard and Premium versions. The width and length are given in the product name. Double-sided belts can be found in the main Timing belts group.

Customer questions about changing the width of an 8M timing belt

Can an 8M 30 belt be replaced with a narrower 8M 20 belt?

Only if the drive transmits a correspondingly lower torque. A narrower belt has a lower load capacity, so under the same load it will wear out faster.
