    Profiles

    Gates TPU timing belts can be customized with attached profiles to meet your specific demands in a range of linear positioning and conveyance application environments. These profiles can be molded in virtually any configuration for holding, pushing, lifting, or actuating, making our profile belts ideal for your assembly, packaging, inserting, and other automation equipment requirements.

    • Over 3,000 profile designs available in 85 and 92 Shore A hardness; all FDA compliant.
    • Non-marking, durable urethane constructions that can be molded to virtually any custom configuration.
    • Available with metal inserts for custom attachments.

    Backings

    If your product requires special handling on the production line, you may want to consider customized backings. We can produce a wide variety of timing belt and backing material combinations.

    • More than 30 available backings offer varying levels of cushioning, durability, and chemical resistance:
        • TPU backings: abrasion-resistant, resilient, durable, highly chemical resistant.
        • Rubber backings: high coefficient of friction and wide temperature range.
        • Foam backings: excellent compressibility, good resistance against chemicals.
        • PVC backings: excellent coefficient of friction, good resistance against chemicals and lubricants.
        • Fabric backings: low friction and high wear resistance.

    Fabrication

    Gates TPU offers a variety of secondary fabrication possibilities to complement our base belt manufacturing capabilities. We can provide a complete belt customization solution, including: grinding edges and surfaces to tight tolerances; punching and machining holes and slots; and CNC machining of three dimensional contours.

    • Special processing:
        • Grinding, milling, punching, and a range of other capabilities available upon request.
        • Holes/perforations, vacuum pockets, slots, grooves, etc.
        • Ability to conform to unusual product shapes and configurations.
