Carbon makes the difference! Higher power transmission, longer service life, virtually no loss of pretension and 50% less elongation than aramid: with its carbon tension member at its core, CONTI® SYNCHROCHAIN CARBON ranks among the world’s highest-performance polyurethane timing belts. It is suitable for demanding applications involving extremely high torques, including replacing chain drives.

Typical applications include energy recovery systems, agricultural machinery, woodworking machinery, printing presses, packaging machinery, textile machinery, machine tools, go-karts and two-wheelers.

At the same belt width, CONTI® SYNCHROCHAIN CARBON transmits up to five times more power than conventional polyurethane timing belts. For the same required power, a significantly narrower belt can be used, reducing the drive width by up to 80%. This can substantially reduce overall system costs.

The CONTI® SYNCHROCHAIN CARBON high-performance timing belt is exceptionally resistant to wear and abrasion and requires no maintenance. Compared with timing belts featuring aramid cord, its service life is up to 100% longer. The high stiffness of the cord reduces pretension losses to virtually zero throughout the belt’s service life.
