When your 3D printer skips steps, your CNC router loses position, or your conveyor drive stretches out of spec, the culprit is almost always a worn or under-spec belt. Engineers, makers, and machine builders who need repeatable, low-backlash motion need a closed loop timing belt that holds tension without creeping — and that's exactly what this PU timing belt with a built-in steel wire core is designed to do.
Each belt is a seamless closed loop manufactured from polyurethane (PU) with a steel wire tensile cord running through the body. Available in four widths — 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, and 30mm — and perimeters from 1401mm (467 teeth) through 1599mm (533 teeth) in 3mm increments. The tooth pitch is 3mm, making these belts compatible with standard metric 3mm-pitch timing pulleys. If you need a dual-dimension reference: 1401mm ≈ 55.2 in, 1500mm ≈ 59.1 in, 1599mm ≈ 63.0 in.
Typical applications include closed-loop positioning axes on desktop CNC routers, belt-driven extruder systems, light conveyor drives, automated sliding door mechanisms, and pick-and-place gantry systems where a low-stretch timing belt replacement is needed without custom fabrication.

Measure the center-to-center distance between your two pulleys, then calculate: Perimeter ≈ 2 × center distance + (π × pulley pitch diameter). For example, a 600mm center distance with 20mm-diameter pulleys typically requires a belt around 1240mm — always round up to the next available size. If you're replacing an existing belt, measure the old belt's outer circumference directly. The tooth count listed in each variant name (e.g., 467 teeth for 1401mm) can also help you cross-reference against your pulley's tooth count.
The steel wire core generally provides tensile strength suitable for light-to-medium duty automation, 3D printing, and CNC positioning applications. Wider belts (20mm, 30mm) typically carry higher loads than narrower ones (10mm, 15mm). For heavy industrial drives or high-cycle applications, contact us to confirm suitability before ordering.
PU timing belts generally offer better resistance to oils, mild chemicals, and moisture compared to rubber belts. However, prolonged outdoor UV exposure or full immersion in water is not recommended. For outdoor or wash-down environments, contact us to confirm suitability for your specific conditions.
These belts use a 3mm tooth pitch. They are generally compatible with standard metric 3mm-pitch timing pulleys (such as T3 or similar profiles). Always verify the tooth pitch and tooth count of your existing pulley against the belt's tooth count listed in the variant name before ordering. If you're unsure, contact us with your pulley specs.
Match the belt width to your pulley's usable face width. A belt that is too narrow may track off-center; one that is too wide won't seat properly in the pulley groove. For light-duty positioning (3D printers, small CNC routers), 10–15mm is typically sufficient. For higher torque or wider pulley systems, choose 20mm or 30mm. When in doubt, measure your existing belt's width or your pulley's face width.
A closed-loop (endless) belt is manufactured as a continuous loop with no joint or splice. This eliminates the weak point of a joined belt, providing consistent tension and longer service life. It also means installation requires sliding the belt over the pulleys before final assembly — it cannot be wrapped around an assembled drive. Plan your installation sequence accordingly.
No. The steel wire reinforcement is fully encapsulated within the PU body. It is not visible or exposed under normal use, which protects it from corrosion and mechanical damage during operation.
