The maximum speed for a timing belt depends on its type and design. Generally, larger pitch belts can handle speeds up to 5500 feet per minute (28 m/s), while mini-pitch belts can go up to 10000 feet per minute (50 m/s). For specific types like HTD belts, the maximum speed is 6500 feet per minute (33 m/s), and for GT2 belts, it’s 7500 feet per minute (38 m/s). Some specialized belts, like the CONTI SYNCHROFORCE CXP, can reach speeds up to 60 m/s.
Is there a particular application or project you’re working on that involves timing belts?
