Engineers, makers, and repair technicians who depend on precise, repeatable motion need a synchronous drive belt that holds its pitch under load, run after run. This HTD 3M timing belt is built for exactly that kind of demanding, accuracy-critical work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach belt is a closed-loop rubber synchronous belt with a 3mm HTD pitch and a 20mm (≈0.79\") width. Loop lengths available in this listing range from 468mm (≈18.4\") to 486mm (≈19.1\"), in 3mm increments. The belt body is neoprene rubber reinforced with a fiberglass tension cord — the standard construction for HTD 3M drive belts used in motion control.
