What is HTD Timing Belt? Everything You Need to Know

HTD Timing Belt Meaning

HTD stands for High Torque Drive, it is a kind of belt tooth profile with arc circle shape. Compared with trapezoidal tooth, HTD drive belt has features of higher load capacity, higher strength and better anti-slippage. It is designed for high torque applications and widely used in industrial fields.   

• Improvedtorque transmission capability: The arc tooth profile provides a larger contact area and reduces stress concentration at the teeth, resulting in enhanced torque transmission
• Optimized load distribution: Arc toothprofile helps to achieve a more even load distribution, reduces wear between the pulley and the belt and extends belt service life. ​
• Reduced noise levels: The arctooth mesh reduces operational noise, making it excellent in noise-sensitive situation

HTD Timing Belt Material

PU: HTD timing belt in polyurethane material with reinforced steel or Kevlar cord, which has characteristics of oil resistance, chemical resistance and high load capacity.

Rubber: HTD timing belt in rubber material with fiberglass core featured with heat resistance and aging resistance.

HTD Timing Belt Profile and Pitch

HTD toothed belt shape is full arc type, commonly used HTD timing belt specifications HTD3M, HTD5M, HTD8M and HTD14M, suitable for different load and transmission requirements.

HTD Timing Belt Applications

Automotive engine: HTD toothed belt is often used to drive camshaft, crankshaft and other key components to ensure the precise synchronization of engine components.

Industrial automation: In the field of industrial automation, HTD timing belt is widely used in various mechanical equipment and production lines. Whether packaging machinery, printing machinery or food processing machinery, HTD toothed belt provides accurate and stable transmission to ensure continuous and efficient operation of the production line.

Textile machinery: Textile machinery has high requirements for the transmission system, requiring precise control of the tension and speed of the fabric. HTD synchronous belt plays an important role in textile machinery with its excellent synchronization performance and wear resistance. It can ensure the accuracy and smoothness of fabric transmission, improve the quality and production efficiency of textiles.

Office equipment: In the field of office equipment, such as printers, copiers, HTD timing belt also plays a key role. It can ensure the accuracy and stability of paper transmission, improve the printing quality and speed of the equipment.

Logistics: HTD timing belt is widely used as conveyor belts, sorting systems and other equipment in logistics industry. It can withstand large loads and high-speed operation to ensure smooth and efficient logistics delivery.

Precise instruments: In precise instruments industry, such as optical instruments, measuring instruments, etc., the accuracy and stability of the transmission are very high. The HTD toothed belt with its high precision transmission performance and excellent wear resistance, is the ideal choice for these instruments. It can ensure the stability and accuracy of instrument operation and improve the reliability of measurement results.

How to choose suitable HTD series timing belt?

• Load requirement: Select the appropriate pitch and belt width based on load size.
• Working environment: Consider the temperature, humidity and possible pollutants of the operation environment, select the appropriate material (such as high temperature, oil resistance etc.)
• Speed requirements: Choose the right toothed belt to meet the speed and torque requirements.

What are differences between HTD series timing belt and other types of timing belt?

HTD timing belt has a special tooth profile and deep tooth design to increase torque carrying capacity and reduce slippage, so it performs well in high load, low speed or high torque transmission. Compared with the ordinary AT (automatic transmission) toothed belt and GT (full-tooth type) toothed belt, HTD belt has higher load capacity and more accurate synchronization.
