Linear Belts: The Complete Range for Linear Drive Systems

Technical explanations

The linear belt is the go-to solution for precision linear motion. Unlike an endless belt that runs in a continuous loop, an open-ended belt has a beginning and an end. It provides perfectly synchronized back-and-forth motion on linear axes, with positioning repeatability of +/- 0.05 mm. 

BRECO®Move belt

First of all, the new-generation BRECO® Move belt, available in AT10 and AT15 profile, is designed for very high precision linear drives, high speed, high load and very high positioning accuracy..

BRECO®Protect alimentary belt

The BRECO® Protect belt has been developed for aggressive environments and food applications. In addition, the belts are FDA compliant according to 21 CFR regulations and comply with migration tests according to European directives.

BRECO® Performance belt

The BRECO ATL belt is suitable for high-stress applications. It is equipped with a reinforced reinforcement which gives the system a better positioning accuracy, a greater rigidity as well as a more efficient dynamic behavior.

BRECO® Standard belt

The BRECO® Standard belt is our heart of the range. Thus having a wide variety of steps / profiles that can adapt to all kinematics and constraints with a wide range of available options.

Self-guided BRECO®  belt

The self-guided BRECO® belt is used in precision linear transmissions. In particular, those not requiring a flange, not undergoing any lateral drift and requiring a perfect alignment of the pulleys.

BRECO® Basic belt

The Breco Basic belt is intended for simple applications that do not require high positioning accuracy and that operate under limited tensile stresses. It is available in T10 and AT10 profiles.

CONTI® Synchrodrive flexibility belt

The CONTI ® Synchrodrive flexibility belt is made for basic linear transmissions with small winding diameters. In particular, those that do not require a high positioning accuracy and can evolve with a low pretension on the frame.

CONTI® Synchrodrive Performance and flexibility belt

The CONTI® Synchrodrive Performance and Flexibility belt is suitable for linear applications with medium loads and small winding diameters.

Courroie CONTI® Synchrodrive Performance

The CONTI® Synchrodrive Performance belt is reserved for linear applications of medium loads and standard winding diameters.

CONTI® Synchrodrive High Resistance belt

The CONTI® Synchrodrive High Resistance belt is reserved for linear applications with heavy loads and standard winding diameter.

BRECO® Plate belt

The BRECO® Plate is suitable for low and medium load lifting applications. It is also provided with a frame giving it a great constant stiffness with the advantage of not lengthening in time.

CONTI® Polyflat belt

The Polyflat belt is suitable for heavy duty lifting applications. It is also provided with a reinforced reinforcement conferring a very great constant stiffness and little elongation in time.

Why choose an open-ended polyurethane timing belt for your linear axes?

An open-ended timing belt made of polyurethane stands out for its ability to deliver precise, repeatable linear motion. Secured at both ends to a carriage or guide system, it converts the rotary motion of a timing pulley into linear travel, with no backlash or slippage. Here are the main advantages that make it a preferred solution for engineering departments and maintenance managers.

Unmatched positioning accuracy

Thanks to the mechanical engagement between the belt teeth and pulley teeth, motion remains perfectly synchronized. There is no slippage or offset, enabling repeatability of +/- 0.05 mm on BRECO® linear systems. For robotics, pick-and-place, or machine-tool applications, this level of precision makes a real difference.

Longer service life with steel-cord-reinforced polyurethane

Steel-cord-reinforced polyurethane, a technology invented by the BRECO Group, gives the belt much greater resistance to wear and abrasion than conventional rubber belts. Elongation remains minimal over time, helping maintain system tension and geometry without frequent adjustments.

Quiet operation with minimal maintenance

Unlike chain drives, which require regular lubrication, the timing belt made of polyurethane runs dry, with no greasing or special maintenance required. Its noise level is very low, a significant advantage in production environments where noise is a concern.

A wide range of profiles and dimensions

The profiles available from Binder Magnetic (AT5, AT10, AT15, AT20, T10, T20, HTD) cover the full range of industrial motion applications, from precision micromovements to moving heavy loads over several meters. Each profile is available in several widths, and all belts are sold by the meter to match the exact length of your system.

Linear timing belts - Custom manufacturing and technical support

For custom manufacturing, the process is simple: the customer sends us their specifications, drawings, or CAD files, and our technical team handles sizing, service-life calculations, and recommends the right profile.

Our Saint-Jean-de-Braye (Orléans) production site manufactures timing belts and flat belts in any length from 0.5 to 50 meters. Lead times are short. In urgent situations, production in less than 24 hours is possible.

With five regional offices (Paris, Angers, Lyon, Strasbourg, Toulouse) and around twenty sales representatives, Binder Magnetic ensures you have a local contact who can quickly come on-site to provide installation advice or troubleshooting support.

Frequently Asked Questions About Open-Ended Timing Belts

Binder Magnetic answers all your questions about open-ended timing belts.

What is the difference between an open-ended timing belt and an endless timing belt?

An endless timing belt forms a continuous loop and is primarily used for power transmission (rotary motion). An open-ended belt, by contrast, has two free ends and is attached to a carriage to create reciprocating linear motion. It is the right solution whenever you need precise, synchronized linear travel.

Which tooth profiles are available for Binder Magnetic linear timing belts?

Metric profiles AT3, AT5, AT10, AT15, AT20, T5, T10, T20 and HTD profiles HTD5, HTD8 and HTD14 are available. The choice depends on the load to be moved, the required speed, and the positioning accuracy needed. Our technical team supports you with sizing to identify the profile best suited to your motion system.

Can I order a timing belt in a specific length?

Yes. All our belts are available by the meter or cut to an exact length, from a few centimeters up to 50 meters. This flexibility minimizes waste and allows you to get exactly the length your system requires, with short lead times.

How do I choose between the BINDER®premium, BINDER®custom, and BINDER®access ranges?

The BINDER®premium range (BRECO® Move) is designed for the most demanding applications in terms of speed, load, and precision. The BINDER®custom range covers specific projects requiring different tensile member constructions or polyurethane types. The BINDER®access range offers proven solutions for standard applications at a more accessible price point. Your Binder Magnetic sales engineer helps you identify the most suitable range based on your technical and budget requirements.
