New Smaller-Pitch, Open-Ended Timing Belt

A new open-end timing belt for linear drives from BRECOflex offers the same tensile strength as its existing series of belts in a smaller pitch.

The Open Ended – M is available in standard widths of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mm and standard lengths of 50 or 100-m rolls. It can also be ordered in one-tooth increments.

BRECOflex Co. has expanded its “move-series” of timing belts with the addition of the AT MOV Open-Ended M for linear drives. As the company shared at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, the AT8 MOV in truly endless BFX has been around for some time, but BRECOflex’s customers’ need for high accuracy in smaller, yet dynamically complex positioning drives prompted the company to design an open-ended AT8 as part of the move-series.

According to BRECOflex, as with its other move-series timing belts, the AT8 MOV Open Ended has excellent tensile stiffness, as compared with other belts. The AT8 has a smaller pitch than the AT10, but has the same specific stiffness, based on a 50-mm belt width. The smaller pitch also reduces the polygonal effect.
