ALPHAFLEX™/Helical Tooth Belts

Seamless, High-Precision Helical Belts for Smooth, Vibration-Free Power Transmission

Bando ALPHAFLEX™ belts are high-performance seamless polyurethane timing belts with a helical tooth profile, engineered for ultra-smooth, continuous power transmission in precision machinery. Manufactured using advanced molded endless technology, these belts eliminate joint weaknesses and deliver perfect pitch accuracy, quiet operation, and long-term dimensional stability.

Key Features

  • Seamless, Joint-Free Construction – Manufactured as a single molded belt — no welds, splices, or weak points — ensuring uniform strength and smooth engagement.
  • Helical Tooth Profile – The spiral (helical) tooth design enables constant tooth contact, reducing vibration, noise, and backlash for precise synchronous motion.
  • High Tensile Strength Cords – Embedded steel or aramid tension cords provide outstanding resistance to stretching, ideal for high-speed and high-load applications.
  • Exceptional Wear & Oil Resistance – Polyurethane construction resists abrasion, oils, and industrial chemicals, extending service life in demanding environments.
  • Ultra-Quiet Operation – The helical tooth geometry minimizes noise and vibration compared to standard straight-tooth belts.
  • Wide Temperature Range – Reliable performance from −30 °C to +80 °C, suitable for both cold and high-temperature industrial settings.

Applications

ALPHAFLEX™ Helical Tooth Belts are ideal for precision and high-speed systems where smooth operation is critical:

  • Automated packaging and labeling equipment
  • Office automation and banking machines
  • Robotics and linear motion drives
  • Textile and printing machinery
  • Medical and measuring instruments

Advantages Over Conventional Timing Belts

  • Uniform tension and perfect pitch accuracy
  • Reduced vibration and mechanical noise
  • Zero splice or weld points — longer operational life
  • Smooth torque transfer, even at high speeds
  • Maintenance-free operation
