Synchrotec® fabrics for elastomer belt applications

Synchrotec stretch fabrics for rubber belts

Customisable belt design requires a technical protective fabric to satisfy multiple mechanical characteristics and physical properties. Synchrotec® is the acknowledged global leader in the development and manufacture of specialised textiles key to the performance and protection of moulded synthetic elastomer belts.

Five good reasons to partner with Synchrotec solutions:

  1. Specialised business unit dedicated to belted fabric
  2. Trusted by the world’s premier belt manufacturers for over 50 years
  3. Vertical manufacturing – from R&D, yarn processing and weaving to dyeing, adhesion-promotion and testing.
  4. Consistent high-quality fabric, with testing throughout the production process
  5. Exceptional fabric performance

Applications of rubber belt fabric

  • Timing belts – OEM/Aftermarket
  • Industrial belts
  • Electric mobility
  • Personal mobility
  • Multi axis equipment belts
  • ATM belts
  • Domestic equipment belts
  • Automotive belts

Fabrics for Rubber Belts

The most complete range of fabrics for multiple applications, covering many different profiles and pitches.

Created from:

  • Polyamide (nylon) 6.6
  • High tenacity polyamide (nylon) 6.6
  • Aramid

Available in ranges of:

  • Weight (50-780gsm)
  • Width (920-1500mm)
  • Gauge (0.3-2.2mm)
  • Stretch extensions tailored to customer belt requirements

Features and benefits of our rubber belting fabrics:

  • Submersive aqueous-based adhesion promotion system for HNBR, CR, CSM, EPDM – low environmental impact
  • RF-free options – for global stewardship
  • Anti-static variance – for volatile environments
  • Multidirectional stretch – allows for maximum toothed conformability (slit to design requirement)
  • Weave patterns designed to allow for optimal belt efficiencies
Synchrotec® fabrics for TPU belt applications
