An “open rubber timing belt” is a continuous loop belt, made of rubber, that isn’t pre-joined, allowing it to be cut to custom lengths and joined for applications needing precise linear movement, like in automatic doors, elevators, or printers, serving as an alternative to chains for accurate positioning and quiet operation. They’re designed for high-demand industrial uses where flexibility in length and reliable, low-noise power transmission are needed.

• Material: Primarily rubber, offering flexibility and noise reduction.
• “Open End”: Means it comes in a roll or length, not as a closed loop, allowing for custom fitting.
• Construction: Often reinforced with steel cords for strength, available in single-sided or double-sided tooth profiles.
