Curved belts pitch allows higher load
ratings
A 15mm pitch has been added to a range of polyurethane arc tooth timing belts that feature a curved arc tooth profile with improved tooth shear strength characteristics for higher efficiency.
Brecoflex BAT and BATK polyurethane timing belts feature a unique curved arc tooth profile with improved tooth shear strength characteristics for higher efficiency and optimised force transmission The curved arc tooth profile is completely self-guiding using only flangeless pulleys for quieter operation and with a lower polygonal effect than straight tooth belt systems, has low vibration - making the range suitable for demanding power transmission applications where high force, a wide safety margin and low noise and are important design considerations

All Brecoflex timing belts are reinforced with bifilar S- and Z-wound multiple steel tension cords arranged in groups and twisted in opposing directions.
As opposed to other belt systems that use only single wire tension members, the Brecoflex system significantly reduces lateral reaction forces and minimises belt run off for increased life and reduced noise.
The use of multiple steel tension members also allows the polyurethane to fully penetrate the cords and is a major contributor to the superior bonding of the belt ends in the joining process.
Breco belts and belting products are available exclusively in the UK from Transmission Developments, the leading mechanical power transmission specialists based in Poole, Dorset.
Transmission Developments are United Kingdom's premier designer, independent manufacturer and supplier of mechanical power transmission and conveying products with three divisions covering belting, chain and engineering plastics.
The company operate under the TransdevTM trading name with exclusive and major partnership distribution agreements with world-class manufacturers and are members of MULCO, the umbrella organization of leading European power transmission companies distributing the Synchroflex, Breco and Brecoflex belt, pulleys and component ranges.
