Trends in development of timing belts for new application areas

Abstract

The application of timing belts into new usage fields makes them more and more popular, and at the same time cause the necessity of introduction of their new construction. It became possible mainly thanks to the usage of new materials and modern production processes. The modernization of timing belts construction affects the reliability and functionality of timing belt gears. New properties allow to use the belts in successive areas of technology. Proper understanding of these conditions allows for optimal adjustment of the power transsmision belt to the machine structure. Taken into consideration parameters influencing on working of the gear is important for creation of the model of load in gear with timing belts.
