Rubber double-sided tooth synchronous belts are used in many industries. They are also commonly used in serpentine drives. Typically, these belts provide a high degree of efficiency and allow for compact, space saving drives. Often, these types of belts are found in vacuum cleaners, ride-on lawn mowers, and hand held power tools.
When choosing a synchronous belt, you should look for the best quality available. It should be low tension, have low tensioning requirements, and be made from a high quality material. Ideally, you should use one that has a high elasticity. This will ensure that the belt is able to fit the wheel groove of your motor.
You should also make sure that the belt is in good condition before installing it. You will want to look for any signs of cracks, twists, or excessive wear. If you find any of these signs, you should have the belt replaced. Otherwise, you will need to perform a re-tensioning procedure.
Generally, double sided toothed synchronous belts are divided into DA and DB varieties. Both of these types are ideal for driving several pulleys at the same time. The DA type has teeth on both sides of the belt, whereas the DB style has teeth on only one side. However, both types are capable of providing accurate timing from either side of the belt.
Among the types of synchronous belts, vulcanized rubber timing belts have some unique characteristics. These include good heat resistance, good crack resistance, and excellent ozone performance.
