In modern industry automation, timing belt plays a vital role in ensuring accurate synchronization of movements. There are many connection methods for timing belt, pin splice is favored because of its convenient installation, reusable and suitable for small spaces. So, what exactly is a spliced timing belt? How is it different from the traditional hot melt connection? This article will explain for you.
What is a pin spliced timing belt?
A pin joint timing belt is a PU open-ended belt (typically reinforced with steel or Kevlar cords) that is pre-cut at both ends into precise fingers. Both ends are connected using threaded stainless steel pins in cross holes through the tooth to form a closed-loop belt. Unlike traditional joint methods such as hot vulcanization or mechanical lacing, the pin splice allows for tool-free, on-site installation with minimal downtime. It is especially ideal for systems which require fast maintenance and frequent belt replacements.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Quick Pin Spliced Timing Belt
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Field connection | Not suitable for high load or high torque scenarios |
| Quick installation | High requirement for joint processing |
| Time and labor saving | The pin may be loose and need to be inspected regularly for stability |
| Reusable assembly and disassembly | The visual appearance is not as beautiful and neat as the flex timing belt |
Compared with Other Joint Methods
| Joint Method | Installation Speed | Reusable | Tool Needed | Application Situations |
| Pin Splice | Very Fast | YES | No | Fast maintenance and small space installation |
| Hot Melt | Medium | No | Hot Melt Equipment | Permanent installation, high load system |
| Mechanical Clasp | Fast | Yes | Basic tool | Temporary use |
| Glued | Slow | No | Basic tool and glue | Limited installation space, low load capacity |
