Welded Endless Belts
Linear belt lengths are available in two styles — welded endless and open ended. Welded endless belts are ideal for low torque conveying applications. Open ended belts are typically used for motion control applications.
Endless belts of virtually any length can be produced utilizing a thermal welding process which joins the ends of the belt together.
Application Characteristics
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.
