Belts are recommended for use on bench type milling machines, lathe drives, woodworking and metalworking machine spindle drives, computer peripheral equipment, small blowers, etc. They are available in 3M-JB, 5M-JB, 7M-JB and 11M-JB sections.
Features
- Long belt life on small pulleys and compact drives.
- Greater shaft speeds, up to 30,000 rpm.
- High performance and smooth running for precision applications.
- Cost savings and design freedom.
- Avoids vibrations when subjected to shock loads.
- Temperature ranges from -54°C up to +85°C.

Construction
These profiles use the same toothed, synchronous construction as our other timing belts, scaled down for compact drives. The fine pitch and shallow tooth depth let the belt wrap tightly around small-diameter pulleys without the internal stress that would crack a coarser-pitch belt at the same bend radius.
Applications
- Bench-type milling machines and lathe drives.
- Woodworking and metalworking machine spindle drives.
- Computer peripherals and small blowers.
Choosing the Right Fit
Match the profile to your pulley diameter and required shaft speed first — these sections are built for compact, high-speed drives rather than raw horsepower. The belts run reliably from -54°C to +85°C and up to 30,000 rpm when correctly matched. Send your drive details through the enquiry form and we’ll confirm the right profile.
Why These Belts
- Supports shaft speeds up to 30,000 rpm.
- Operating range from -54°C to +85°C.
- Extended lifespan on small pulleys versus a coarser-pitch belt.
- Smooth, precise operation suited to sensitive machinery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are 5m, 7m and 11m belts used for?
Compact, high-precision drives — bench-type milling machines, lathe drives, woodworking and metalworking spindles, computer peripherals and small blowers.
How fast can these belts run?
Correctly matched to the drive, they support shaft speeds up to 30,000 rpm without excessive vibration.
What temperature range do they handle?
From -54°C to +85°C, which covers most indoor industrial and workshop environments.
How do I choose between the 3m, 5m, 7m and 11m profiles?
Smaller profiles suit tighter pulleys and lighter loads; larger profiles carry more load on bigger drives. Send us your pulley and speed details and we’ll confirm the right one.
Do these belts need special maintenance?
No — like other timing belts they need no lubrication, just periodic inspection and correct tension.
