Synchronous timing belts are lighter and more efficient than chain. Once set up, they require no tensioning or adjustment. The HTD profile is ideal for FIRST Robotics Competition applications—its deep tooth profile allows it to better handle high reversing loads, such as those found in an FRC drivetrain. Each year, more and more FIRST Robotics Competition teams make the design switch to belts and attain superior performance.
Timing pulleys are custom machined from high-strength aluminum and black anodized for lightweight durability and superior performance. These pulleys are also well-suited for use in industrial machinery, automation equipment, and prototyping systems where precision and load handling are critical.
