Characteristics of Rubber timing belt
There are a number of different types of rubber timing belts in the market. Each one is suited for different purposes and industries, so it's important to select the right belt for your specific application.

High Temperature Resistant
A variety of different materials are available for making a rubber timing belt. These include neoprene, urethane, nitrile, PVC and fiberglass. These materials offer varying levels of resistance to temperature, abrasion and other elements in your environment.

Excellent Shock Resistant
Timing belts that have been reinforced with composite materials can provide the best shock resistance. This is because the reinforcements can make the belt stronger and more resistant to damage.

Reinforced Polyurethane
Timing belts made from polyurethane are a great choice for applications that require high tensile strength, a wide range of temperature settings and petrol resistance. They also offer excellent wear characteristics and are easy to clean.

Improved Rubber Compounds and Reinforcing Fibers
Today's timing belts use a variety of improved rubber compounds that offer enhanced durability and better tracking and traction capabilities. They are particularly useful for applications that involve continuous high-speed tracking.

Increased Shock Resistance
The increased elasticity and traction of modern rubber compounds is especially helpful for applications that involve intermittent shock loading or extreme vibration. These are common in many of the most popular applications for timing belts, such as automotive, agricultural machinery, and heavy industrial equipment.

The increased elasticity of hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) has led to its becoming a popular elastomer for automobile and truck timing belts. This is because HNBR offers excellent abrasion resistance, tensile strength and flex fatigue properties. It also has good stability to thermal aging and is capable of maintaining its elasticity over time, even at lower temperatures.
