ended belts are typically used for • Choice of polymers including FDA grades
motion control applications. • Nylon back and nylon tooth surface options available
for quieter operation and reduced friction
• Various molded profiles and backing

materials available
• Wide range of tooth pitches to meet

your application requirements
Endless belts of virtually any length can be

produced utilizing a thermal welding process
which joins the ends of the belt together.

Linear Belt Applications
Linear Belts
Application Characteristics
• High precision positioning or

indexing
• Synchronous conveying
• High acceleration, deceleration or con-

tinuous high running speeds
• Multiple belt, common shaft

conveying
• Customized belts to meet any

application need
Rough Top backing on urethane timing belts

allows synchronous conveying of sheet glass
without interference from glass shards.
Urethane timing belts are ideal for use in vertical

and horizontal door applications. Durable and clean
running, these belts provide quiet and positive
motion for industrial, train, elevator, and automatic
slide door applications.

Linear Belt Specifications
Linear Belts
Refer to these product notes in reviewing the Linear Belt Specifications pages that follow
Calculating Belt Weight

Imperial Units
Belt Weight = (Specific Belt Wt, lbf/ft/in) x (Belt Length, ft) x (Belt Width, in)
e.g. 200 ft of H600, Steel Cord
Belt Weight = 79 lbs = (0.066 lbf/ft/in) x (200 ft) x (6 in)
Metric Units
Belt Weight = (Specific Belt Wt, kgf/m/cm) x (Belt Length, m) x (Belt Width, cm)
e.g. 100 meters of 150T10, Steel Cord
Belt Weight = 111 kg = (0.074kgf/m/cm) x (100 m) x (15 cm)
Service Temperature Range

–5° C to 70° C (23° F to 158° F)
Hardness
92 Shore A - Standard PU, 85 Shore A - FDA Compliant PU
Coefficient of Friction
Urethane vs. UHMWPE (dry)
Urethane vs. Steel (dry) 0.5 to 0.7
Urethane vs. Aluminum (dry) 0.5 to 0.6
Urethane vs. UHMWPE (dry) 0.2 to 0.4
Nylon vs. Steel (dry) 0.2 to 0.4
Nylon vs. UHMWPE (dry) 0.1 to 0.3
• Most belts are available with Nylon Fabric on either or both sides.
For Nylon on the tooth side, specify “NT”
For Nylon on the back side, specify “NB”
For Nylon on both sides, specify “NTB”
Note: Nylon on tooth side is NOT available on HTD5 Steel or Kevlar in widths greater than 50 mm.
• Belting produced to specific length tolerance is available upon request.
• Many linear positioning applications require belts of a specific length tolerance, or a “minus pitch tolerance.”
Gates Mectrol can produce belts to specific minus tolerances. Consult a Gates Mectrol Applications
Engineer to determine the proper length tolerance calculation.

Sealed Belting
Linear Belts
The WR series of urethane timing belting
is designed for high humidity applications.
Unlike a traditional timing belt, the tension
member is not exposed in the flight area
(between the teeth). The WR series is compati-
ble with standard pulley for each pitch.
Features
• Reduces moisture absorption in the cord area
- Less rust when using steel
- Less chance for bacteria growth when using

Flat Belt Overview
Gates Mectrol offers a full line of
high strength, low stretch flat belts
for lifting and positioning applica- Features
tions. These flat belts are typically
sold in open ended lengths and are • Smooth, vibration free operation
clamped at each end.
• Use with small pulley diameters
• High strength, low stretch for long life
• Sealed edges, no cord fraying
Flat Belts
• Easily guided with flanged pulleys
• Kevlar or steel cord construction
• Heavy load lifting or lowering • No lubrication needed
• Allows for “slip” requirement • No retensioning required
• Smooth uniform motion
• Small bending radius for small
design envelope
• Very low stretch characteristics
Gates Mectrol’s Kevlar reinforced ure-

thane flat belts have limited stretch,
are oil and cut resistant, making them
ideal for harsh environments such as
metal stamping conveyors.

Flat Belt – Design Recommendations
• In contrast to fabric coated flat belts, Gates Mectrol flat
belts have very high strength and extremely low stretch.
They are designed to be run on flat faced pulleys with
flanges. Crowned pulleys should not be used
• Gates Mectrol flat belts are not recommended for appli-

cations which involve belt twisting. Should an application
require that a belt be twisted 90o, the length over which
the twist occurs should be a minimum of 15 inches for a
one inch wide belt.
Flat Belts
Flat Pulley
• Gates Mectrol flat belts are not to be used in lat pull

down machines or other fitness equipment machines
in which belt twist is unrestricted.

Its combined characteristics of high friction and abrasion

resistance make the seamless Thermoplastic Rubber
backing ideal for box folding applications.

Backings
Perform a wide variety of functions
Many applications require belts with specific surface characteristics. A wide variety of co-extruded as well as
post-laminated backings are available to solve your toughest application requirements. Specifications follow.
• Special nylon fabric can be added to the belt back or tooth side during the manufacturing process.
This reduces the coefficient of friction for sliding surfaces or product accumulation
• High friction surfaces
• A variety of materials can be added for vibration dampening
• An antistatic surface is available with a resistivity of less than 106 Ohms/Square
Polyurethane
Gates Mectrol urethane backings are available in several different varieties. Available in different
durometers, with different coefficients of friction, urethane backings are the toughest and most
durable backing material.

Pulley Overview
Gates Mectrol manufactures a complementary line of timing pulleys. While industry standards do exist
for most pulley groove geometries, each manufacturer has its own interpretation of those standards.
For the longest belt life and quietest operation, it is recommended that the timing belts and pulleys be
single-sourced so that the components are matched. Recognizing that any project may have different
pulley style requirements, Gates Mectrol offers a Custom Pulley Program, which allows for additional
features as needed.
In addition to pulley alternatives, Gates Mectrol offers a Clamp Plate Program to match any project
needs.
Custom Pulley Program
This program is designed to meet your

made-to-print custom pulley requirements.
• Unlimited design freedom
• Three raw material choices:

aluminum, steel or stainless steel
Clamp Plates
Gates Mectrol offers a clamp plate program

for standard and custom requirements.
Pulleys & Clamps

Pulleys can be customized to fit specific applications. Below are the options available:

Clamp Plates
Clamp plates are often used in motion control applications where one belt end is anchored by
means of a clamp plate. The Gates Mectrol clamp plate engages eight teeth and has an end cutoff
designed to prevent cord fatigue.
