Continental® Synchrochain
The Continental® Synchrochain is a high performing timing belt designed for applications in drives with very high acceleration forces, as well as for the transmission of high torque at low speeds. The combination of extraordinary tensile strength with a high tear resistance making extreme applications possible. It’s original design has a newly developed CTD profile with ultra strong aramid tensile members embedded in the compound ensuring reliable power transmission for high torques.

Synchronous Transmission + Profile
Continental® Synchrochain timing belt transmits rotary motions at exact angles and a constant belt speed. The match between the belt and drive pulley are synchronous, preventing ratcheting and increasing reliability.
The newly developed CTD profile (Continental Torque Drive) combines the advantages of both the HTD and the STD profile. Ultra smooth running is provided by the arch shaped pulley and the higher tooth ensuring harmonic tooth meshing and excellent protection against belt slip.
Properties
Synchronous transmission
Continental® SYNCHROCHAIN high-performance timing belts transmit rotary motions at exact angles and a constant belt speed. The precise tooth match between belt and drive pulley ensures a high degree of synchronicity and reliably prevents belt ratcheting.
Compact and economical belt configurations
The high tear resistance and high dynamic load carrying capacity of Continental® SYNCHROCHAIN high-performance belts allow for synchronous drives even where space is at a premium. This establishes ideal conditions for the design of economically compact, lightweight drives.
No lubrication and maintenance needed
Continental® SYNCHROCHAIN high-performance belts are maintenance-free. No lubricating or re-tightening is required. Their construction and the materials used ensure a constant belt tension.
Low-noise operation
The optimized sectional match between timing belt and pulley and a belt construction with a multiply treated polyamide fabric, plus a dramatic reduction in the required timing belt width that using Continental® SYNCHROCHAIN high-performance timing belts afford, all make for considerably less noise, even at high belt speeds.
