Overview
The Continental CTD14M-2520-68 Synchrochain Carbon Belt is a premium synchronous timing belt designed for industrial automation and power transmission systems that demand exceptional performance under extreme conditions. This polyurethane belt combines carbon tension members with advanced materials to deliver higher transmitted power and extended service life compared to standard timing belts. The belt measures 2520 mm in pitch length with a 14 mm pitch and 68 mm cross-section width, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial machinery and drive systems.
Key Features
- Carbon tension members ensure longitudinal stability and increased power transmission
- Polyurethane construction with specially coated, wear-resistant fabric backing
- High dynamic stressing capability up to 40 m/s with maintenance-free operation
- CTD (Continental Torque Drive) profile combines advantages of HTD and STD profiles
- 30% higher transmitted power and 50% less elongation than standard aramid-tensioned variants
- Synchronous tooth engagement prevents belt slip and ensures precise motion transmission
- No lubrication or retightening required; low-noise operation
