SilentSync® Belts

The evolution continues with the next generation in synchronous belt technology

SilentSync® is the next generation in synchronous belt technology. This unique, state-of-the-art alternative to straight-tooth belts and drive chains has been enhanced to improve the overall performance of your drive design – and help you save energy.

SilentSync® is the same Helical Offset Tooth (H.O.T.) design offering continuous rolling tooth engagement, ensuring a much quieter, synchronous drive with reduced vibration. A flangeless sprocket offering used with SilentSync® also provides a reduced weight, more compact drive providing efficiencies up to 98%.

Higher horsepower rating

With the emergence of higher horsepower requirements and the need to reduce the size of drives, SilentSync®’s increased horsepower capacity, up to 25% improvement, has the ability to handle an even wider variety of applications. Newly-engineered materials and specialty compounds are formulated to give this next-generation SilentSync® belt more value in the most demanding applications.

Improved operating temperature range

Knowing that elevated temperatures can significantly reduce belt life, we have made improvements in SilentSync® ‘s ability to perform at 200°F (93.3°C) continuous operation.
With SilentSync,® you can experience a whole new level of performance and value in reinforced rubber synchronous belts.

Belt materials compounded to last longer

Durability starts with the SilentSync® belt’s rubber compound, a cross-linked elastomer formulated to resist tooth deformity and increase tooth rigidity. SilentSync® is also chemically stable to resist the effects of oils, coolants, heat and ozone.

Matching belt to sprocket has never been easier

The SilentSync® Color Spectrum System makes it the easiest power transmission drive to sell, purchase and install.

The part numbering system for SilentSync® centers around a color-coded sizing system for the belts and sprockets. Each belt and sprocket part number includes a letter corresponding to a color and is also branded in that color. The letters Y, W, P, B, G, O and R indicate the colors Yellow, White, Purple, Blue, Green, Orange and Red. All Yellow belts are designed to function with all Yellow sprockets, as is the case for the White, Purple, Blue, Green, Orange and Red sizes. An example of the part numbering system nomenclature for belts, sprockets and bushings follows and also appears on subsequent pages.

SilentSync®‘s high-strength aramid tensile member provides optimal resistance to flex fatigue, elongation and shock loads while operating at high torque conditions. The facing of SilentSync® belts also reduce tooth engagement friction while standing up to oil and chemical permeation.

Increased efficiency DriveChange™ opportunity

The unique tooth configuration of SilentSync® provides continuous tooth engagement and eliminates slippage. With a power efficiency rating of 98%, SilentSync® can offer you an impressive 5% edge over typical V-belt drives.

Simply stated, with SilentSync,® you get what you pay for with each energy dollar. This is especially true when the SilentSync® is applied to high-energy consuming drives that are used 24 hours a day, as well as high horsepower drives that inflate energy consumption during peak periods.

A quieter, reduced vibration drive

The H.O.T. design of SilentSync® belts and sprockets reduces vibration and decreases operating noise by as much as 19 decibels versus other synchronous systems. This can lead to a quieter working environment with improved worker efficiency. Costs associated with monitoring, training and testing to meet OSHA regulations can be virtually eliminated with SilentSync® drives.

Applications

SilentSync® belts and sprockets are ideal on a wide variety of applications in all industries.
