EPDM timing belts – The next generation of industrial timing belts has arrived

More performance! More reliability! More sustainability! Less CO₂! Industry is crying out for change. Those who fail to act now will pay for it later – with higher costs, more breakdowns and increasing risks. If you want to produce cost-effectively tomorrow, now‘s the time to make your decision. Opt for the new EPDM timing belts from Continental.

SWITCH OVER NOW. SECURE THE FUTURE.

Without modifications. Without risk. With full compatibility.

These EPDM timing belts are not just a minor upgrade or refinement. They represent a significant leap forward in drive technology. This is because they offer groundbreaking advantages over traditional timing belts made from chloroprene rubber:

Up to 4x longer service life
Less downtime, fewer replacements. Lower costs.
Resilient under extreme conditions
Temperature resistant from –40 °C to +120 °C (Synchroforce, Synchroforce Advance)
Temperature resistant from –40 °C to +100 °C (Conti Synchroforce Advance Pro)
Reduced CO₂ emissions
>20 % lower product carbon footprint (calculated in accordance with ISO 14067)
Future-proof
PFAS-free, significantly lower levels of chlorine and PAHs

No more limits

The EPDM timing belts in the Synchroforce series deliver when other materials can no longer keep up. Extreme temperatures, high continuous loads, challenging environments—that's exactly what they're made for. In a nutshell: EPDM is a material that doesn't put limits on applications, but opens up new possibilities. And this creates exactly the freedom that modern industry needs.
