PU Open Timing Belts Supplier in Dubai, UAE | Cut-to-Length Belts
Auto Nobel Trading L.L.C. supplies PU open timing belts (also known as cut-to-length or open-ended timing belts) for precision power transmission and linear motion applications across Dubai, the UAE, and the GCC. These belts are made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with steel or Kevlar tension members, offering exceptional wear resistance, dimensional stability, and slip-free synchronous transmission.
What Are PU Open Timing Belts?
PU open timing belts are synchronous belts manufactured without a pre-formed endless loop. Unlike conventional timing belts, open timing belts can be cut to any required length (typically 1000mm – 20,000mm), offering maximum flexibility for custom installations. They are constructed from high-performance thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with steel wire or Kevlar cord reinforcement for high tensile strength and low elongation.
Key structural features include:
- Thermoplastic polyurethane body — excellent resistance to oil, grease, and wear, with minimal dust generation for clean operation
- Steel wire or Kevlar tension members — high tensile strength, dimensional stability, and zero elongation over time
- Open-ended design — customizable length for specific machinery requirements
- Nylon fabric covering — on tooth face and/or back reduces friction and noise (PAZ, NFT, NFB options)
Key Features and Benefits
✅ Cut-to-Length Flexibility — available in any length from 1000mm to 20000mm, eliminating the need for exact pre-made sizes
✅ Superior Wear and Abrasion Resistance — polyurethane material outperforms rubber in demanding applications
✅ High Oil, Grease, and Chemical Resistance — suitable for harsh industrial environments
✅ No Dust Generation or Flaking — clean operation ideal for food processing, medical equipment, and cleanroom applications
✅ High Tensile Strength — steel and Kevlar cord variants provide reliable power transmission under heavy loads
✅ Low Vibration and Reduced Noise — smooth engagement minimizes operational noise
✅ Excellent Resistance to Aging, UV, and Ozone — long service life in outdoor and exposed applications
✅ Temperature Range — typically -25°C to +85°C, with specialized variants for higher temperatures
