A complete range of timing belts for your industrial power transmission systems

Q: What is the difference between a welded timing belt and a timing belt sold by the meter?

A welded timing belt is an open-ended belt whose ends are welded together to form an endless loop at the exact required length. A belt sold by the meter is supplied open-ended, cut to the requested length, ready to be installed on a linear system or welded later. We produce both at our Saint-Jean-de-Braye facility.

Q: What are the lead times for a custom timing belt?

Allow approximately one week for a timing belt sold by the meter, and two to four weeks for more complex manufacturing (welding, cleats, coatings). In an emergency, some products can be manufactured within 24 hours

Binder Magnetic designs and distributes timing belts made of polyurethane for machine manufacturers and industrial distributors. A subsidiary of the BRECO Group, inventor of the extruded polyurethane belt, Binder Magnetic draws on more than 50 years of expertise and its French production facility in Saint-Jean-de-Braye to offer standard and custom solutions.

The Binder® Premium range was specially developed to meet the requirements of the most demanding industrial applications. It meets the requirements of ever-increasing production rates and the specific constraints of industrial environments, particularly in the food processing sector, where hygiene and safety requirements are especially strict.

The Binder® Custom range draws on all our expertise to meet technical requirements and the constraints of a wide variety of applications. Thanks to its high manufacturing flexibility, it enables us to offer belts suited to many industries and specific needs in terms of dimensions and materials.

The Binder® Access offering, available in single-sided timing belts or double-sided timing belts, brings together our most economical solutions. It was developed for standard, less demanding applications while providing a reliable, high-performance solution for the most common linear motion applications.

The BINDER® Premium range brings together our modular and configurable transmission solutions designed for conveying applications. The BRECO ATN® and BINDERmodul belts were specially designed to enable fast and easy assembly of drive profiles while ensuring reliable, high-performance transmission.

Our core BINDER® Custom range brings together all our spliceable timing belts, designed to meet the specific requirements of each application. Depending on technical constraints and installation needs, three types of splices are available to provide a solution suited to each configuration.

The BINDER® Access range was developed for common conveying and product transport needs across many industrial sectors. Equipped as standard with thermoplastic coatings, the BRECObasic® belt is an economical, reliable, and versatile solution for the simplest conveying and transport applications.

The BINDER®custom belts are designed for a wide range of applications. Numerous variants are available depending on the selected reinforcement and polyurethane type to meet the full range of constraints associated with your applications.

The BINDER® Premium range meets the requirements of the most demanding applications in terms of speed, power, and precision. It includes double-sided timing belts as well as the latest generation of single-sided timing belts, including BRECOFLEX®Move, SYNCHROFLEX® GENIII and SYNCHROCHAIN, designed to meet the requirements of the most advanced industrial applications.

The BINDER® Access belt range brings together proven, economical solutions, ideally suited to standard industrial applications. It covers all common profiles and pitches and is available from stock, enabling us to respond quickly to market needs, especially for maintenance and replacement part applications.

Polyurethane timing belts: performance, durability, and wear resistance

Polyurethane has been at the heart of Binder Magnetic's offering since 1971. Compared with rubber, this material provides significantly greater abrasion resistance, improved dimensional stability, and a longer service life, including in demanding environments (oils, greases, chemicals, temperature variations). As a subsidiary of the BRECO Group, we have mastered this technology since its origins. Strength, light weight, and quiet operation: these properties enable us to meet the most demanding specifications, from food processing and medical applications to robotics.

Synchronous timing belts: positioning accuracy to one-tenth of a millimeter.

The polyurethane synchronous timing belt is at the core of our expertise. Thanks to the precise meshing of each tooth with the corresponding pulley, it provides synchronized transmission and precise positioning, with no slippage between the belt and pulley. On properly sized linear systems, our solutions can achieve repeatability of approximately ±0.05 mm, meeting the requirements of applications that demand precision and repeatability, such as robotic axes, packaging machines, medical imaging equipment, and optical inspection lines.

Our range covers the main profiles AT5, AT10, AT15, AT20, T10, T20 and HTD, available as open-ended or endless belts, and is offered in three product levels: BINDER® Premium, BINDER® Custom and BINDER® Access, to meet different levels of requirements across industrial applications.

Custom timing belts: from your drawings to delivery

Approximately half of our orders are custom-made. You send us your drawings or your specifications, and our sales engineers work with you on sizing to adapt dimensions to manufacturing standards. From our Saint-Jean-de-Braye facility, we can supply linear belts from 0.5 to 50 meters, timing belts with cleats up to 17 meters long, and belts with thermoplastic coatings suited to the constraints of each application. Lead times are approximately one week for a belt supplied by the meter and two to four weeks for more complex projects. In an emergency, we can produce certain parts in less than 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions about our PU timing belts

Binder Magnetic answers all your questions about timing belts.

What profiles and pitches are available in your range?

We offer AT5, AT10, AT15, AT20, T10, T20 and HTD profiles. Each profile is available in multiple widths and lengths. If your requirements do not match a standard configuration, our sales engineers will help you define the optimal configuration.

What is the difference between a welded timing belt and a timing belt sold by the meter?

A welded timing belt is an open-ended belt whose ends are welded together to form an endless loop at the exact required length. A belt sold by the meter is supplied open-ended, cut to the requested length, ready to be installed on a linear system or welded later. We produce both at our Saint-Jean-de-Braye facility.

Do you offer belts suitable for food-contact applications?

Yes. The BRECOprotect® range complies with FDA requirements (21 CFR) and European migration directives. It is available in AT5, AT10, AT15, AT20, T10 and T20 profiles, as well as in the F3 flat-belt version.

What are the lead times for a custom timing belt?

Allow approximately one week for a timing belt sold by the meter, and two to four weeks for more complex manufacturing (welding, cleats, coatings). In an emergency, some products can be manufactured within 24 hours

Why choose polyurethane instead of rubber for a timing belt?

Polyurethane offers better abrasion resistance, a longer service life, and greater dimensional stability than rubber. It resists oils, greases, and many chemicals well. It is also lighter and generates less noise during operation. These characteristics make it the preferred choice for applications requiring precision and reliability.
