Bando BANCOLLAN TN Timing Belts
Bando BANCOLLAN timing belts in triangular TN profiles are designed for highly precise and stable transmission in low to medium power ranges, with high torque and at both low and high speeds. The triangular tooth profile ensures backlash-free contact between the belt and pulley, while the small pitch provides rotation smoothness similar to flat belts.
The belts are made from a special BANCOLLAN polyurethane compound and polyester or aramid fiber tension member. They allow long-term, maintenance-free operation in miniature and very small transmissions, meeting demands for high transmission capacity, precision, and cleanliness.
Belts Construction
- Polyurethane teeth
- Polyester or aramid tension member
- Polyurethane backing
Belts Fields of Use
Bando BANCOLLAN polyurethane timing belts provide reliable solutions for very low, low, and medium power ranges across various applications.
They are typically used in machines and devices ranging from the smallest, miniature equipment such as printers, copiers, 3D printers, plotters, cameras, ATMs, optical devices, kitchen appliances, hand tools, industrial manipulators, and robots, among many others.
Their use is particularly advantageous in applications where oil from technological processes, transmissions, or bearings may affect belt properties (e.g., machining tools or gearboxes), in applications that generate ozone during operation (e.g., optical devices and copiers), or in applications requiring clean power transmission. The belts are suitable for laboratory and medical devices, as well as food processing and packaging machines.
Belts Characteristics
- Highly precise synchronous operation with minimal backlash
- Very high belt flexibility and durability
- Smooth rotation due to small pitch (close to the rotation of flat belts but with precise revolutions)
- High dimensional and shape stability
- Temperature resistance from −30 °C to +70 °C
- Maintenance-free
- Very clean operation (no small particles or dust released like with rubber belts)
- Resistance to oils, greases, acids, and alkalis
- Resistance to ozone
