The H Synchronous Belt is an inch-pitch synchronous belt with a 0.500 inch (12.7 mm) trapezoidal tooth profile. Power is transmitted by the meshing of the belt teeth with the pulley grooves rather than by friction, so the drive has no slip and no speed fluctuation. This positive engagement is what makes the H profile a standard choice for heavy-duty industrial power transmission.
Because the tooth form is trapezoidal and the pitch is imperial, the H profile is fully interchangeable with standard H pulleys to ISO 5296, which are widely available from many suppliers. The deep, wide tooth gives the belt a large shear area, so the H profile transmits high torque in a compact drive without the excessive belt width that a lighter profile would need.
The belt requires no lubrication, has no slip and no pollution, and runs with little noise. Transmission efficiency reaches 98% or more and the speed ratio range extends to 1:10, making the belt suitable for multi-axis drives. The maximum linear speed is 30 m/s.
Every H Synchronous Belt is built with a proven three-layer composite structure using premium, industry-grade materials for stable dimensions and long service life.
| Layer | Material | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Member (Core) | high-strength glass fiber cord | Carries the full tensile load with very low elongation, keeping the pitch length stable under load. |
| Body Compound | Chloroprene rubber (CR) blended with rubber additives | Bonds and protects the cord, transmits the load, and resists heat, cold, oil, water and chemicals. |
| Tooth Facing | Specially treated Nylon 66 high-elastic fabric | Protects the tooth surface from wear, lowers friction against the pulley groove, and keeps the tooth form accurate. |
| Parameter | Imperial | Metric |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth Pitch | 0.500 in | 12.7 mm |
| Tooth Height | 0.090 in | 2.29 mm |
| Total Belt Thickness | 0.169 in | 4.3 mm |
| Pressure Angle | 40° | |
| Tooth Form | Trapezoidal, inch pitch (H series) | |
| Maximum Linear Speed | 30 m/s | |
| Transmission Efficiency | Up to 98% | |
| Speed Ratio | Up to 1:10 | |
| Operating Temperature | -30 to +90 °C | |

An H belt is designated by its pitch line length code, the letter H for the profile, and a belt width code. Taking 480H100 as the example: 480 is the pitch line length code (48.0 inches), H is the profile (12.7 mm pitch), and 100 is the belt width code (1.00 inch). The model number without width is therefore 480H. Pitch line length in millimetres equals the length in inches multiplied by 25.4.

| Width Code | Width (inches) | Width (mm) | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 075 | 0.75" | 19 mm | Light duty, compact drives |
| 100 | 1.00" | 25.4 mm | General purpose industrial |
| 150 | 1.50" | 38 mm | Medium-heavy industrial |
| 200 | 2.00" | 51 mm | Heavy-duty machinery |
| 300 | 3.00" | 76 mm | High-torque applications |
| 400 | 4.00" | 102 mm | Maximum torque capacity |

We supply all 230 standard H belt models as endless belts. OEM customization and private labelling are available for distributors.
When requesting a quote, please specify: belt length code, belt width code, quantity, and any special material requirements.
The H timing belt is an inch-pitch trapezoidal-tooth synchronous belt with a 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) pitch, a 2.29 mm tooth height and a 4.3 mm thickness. It is designed for heavy-duty industrial power transmission where a positive, non-slip drive and accurate speed ratios are required.
Both are inch-pitch trapezoidal belts. H has a 0.500 inch (12.7 mm) pitch, while XH has a 0.875 inch (22.225 mm) pitch. XH is the larger, heavier-duty profile: it transmits more torque but needs larger pulleys, so H and XH belts are not interchangeable.
The designation is pitch length code - profile - width code. So 480H100 means a 48.0 inch (1219.2 mm) pitch line length, an H profile with a 12.7 mm pitch, and a 1.00 inch (25.4 mm) belt width. To find the number of teeth, divide the pitch length by the pitch: 48.0 / 0.5 = 96 teeth.
We stock 230 standard H models from 120H to 2720H in five width codes: 075 (0.75 inch / 19.1 mm), 100 (1.00 inch / 25.4 mm), 150 (1.50 inch / 38.1 mm), 200 (2.00 inch / 50.8 mm) and 300 (3.00 inch / 76.2 mm). Custom widths and lengths can be manufactured on request.
Every H belt uses a three-layer composite construction: a high-strength glass fiber tensile cord, a chloroprene rubber (CR) body, and a specially treated nylon 66 tooth facing for wear protection and low friction.
The minimum order quantity is 100 pieces for stock sizes. OEM and private label orders are available, and production lead times are confirmed when you place your order.
H timing belts are used for heavy-duty industrial drives such as machine tools, pumps, compressors, fans and blowers, conveyors, printing and packaging machinery, textile machinery, mining and quarrying equipment, agricultural machinery and food processing lines, as well as drop-in replacement on existing H pulley installations.
Yes. Our H timing belts are manufactured to the ISO 5296 standard for inch-pitch trapezoidal tooth profiles and are fully dimensionally interchangeable with equivalent-profile H timing belts from other mainstream international manufacturers.
