HTD belts might be the answer you've been searching for. But what exactly are HTD belts, and why are they gaining popularity in various industries across Australia?

HTD belts, or High Torque Drive belts, represent a significant advancement in timing belt technology. Developed to address the limitations of conventional timing belts, HTD timing belts feature a unique curvilinear tooth profile that allows for greater load capacity and improved power transmission efficiency.

The curved tooth design of HTD belts provides several key advantages:

  • Increased surface area contact between the belt teeth and pulley grooves, resulting in better load distribution
  • Reduced risk of tooth jump or skipping, ensuring precise timing in critical applications
  • Lower noise levels compared to traditional timing belts
  • Enhanced durability and longer service life, leading to reduced maintenance and replacement costs

These characteristics make HTD belts an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial applications, from manufacturing and robotics to material handling. Whether you're dealing with high-torque, low-speed operations or need precise synchronization in your machinery, HTD belts offer a reliable and efficient solution.

As a division of Naismith Engineering & Manufacturing Co Pty Ltd, a company with over 70 years of experience in the power transmission industry, we're proud to offer a comprehensive range of high-quality HTD belts to our Australian customers.
