• Short answer: Warranty terms are written into the quotation for each order. Custom belts are typically covered against manufacturing defects, such as compound faults or dimensions outside the approved drawing, when they have been stored, installed and operated within the agreed conditions. Wear from misalignment, wrong tension or overload is not covered, and we explain that boundary before you ord...

  • Short answer: Pitch and tooth profile, belt length or tooth count, width, material and cord preference, quantity and working conditions. With a drawing or an old sample you can send even less, because we measure the rest. The more complete your enquiry, the fewer clarification rounds before you have a firm price.The core specificationPitch and profileFor example HTD 8M or AT10, or an imperial pitc...

  • Short answer: T/T bank transfer is our standard payment method, commonly a deposit with the balance before shipment; PayPal is accepted for samples and small orders, and a letter of credit can be discussed for larger contracts. We ship under EXW, FOB or CIF depending on your preference, and pre-shipment inspection by a third party such as SGS or BV can be arranged. The exact terms are written into...

  • Short answer: Yes. For custom timing belts we can issue material declarations for the compounds, cords and fabrics actually used in your order, and we can arrange third-party testing such as SGS on request. What we will not do is describe those documents as a certificate for a standard we have not had the finished belt tested against. Tell us the regulation your market requires, and we will confir...

  • Short answer: a custom timing belt can be built in rubber (CR, HNBR, EPDM) or thermoplastic PU, with tension cords in fiberglass, aramid or steel, and optional covering fabrics on teeth or back for special friction, wear or noise needs. The practical rule: match the compound to temperature, oil and environment; match the cord to load, shock and precision; add a cover only when the application dem...

  • Short answer: yes — a worn sample is often the fastest way to order a replacement timing belt. Send the old belt (even broken or heavily worn) and we measure pitch length, tooth profile, pitch, width, cord visibility and compound to build a dimensioned drawing for your approval before production. Clear photos with a ruler can be enough for a first feasibility check and quote, but a physical sampl...

  • Short answer: yes — as an independent manufacturer GOODLY routinely works under customer NDAs and treats drawings, samples and application data as confidential. Your specifications are used only to quote and produce your order, are not shared with third parties, and are not used to supply other customers. If your company has its own NDA template, send it over and we will review and sign before an...

  • Short answer: custom timing belts are typically produced in about 1–3 weeks depending on complexity, mold availability and quantity, and sea freight from China to the USA or Mexico usually takes roughly 3–6 weeks door-to-door while air freight takes about 5–10 days. For standard-section custom-cut belts without new tooling, total lead time from drawing approval to delivery is commonly in the 4–8 ...

  • Short answer: yes. We reverse-engineer timing belts from a sample or your dimension data and manufacture equivalents compatible with common international profiles (HTD, STD, T, AT, and common inch pitches). Drawings and samples you send are kept strictly confidential — an NDA can be signed on request. GOODLY Belts is an independent manufacturer, not affiliated with any other brand. How reverse en...

  • Short answer: customized timing belts are produced to order, so there is normally a minimum order quantity — but it is kept low for first-time customers, and sample belts can usually be made before mass production. Lead time for custom belts is typically about 1–3 weeks depending on the mold, profile and quantity. Contact us with your drawing or old belt for an exact quotation. MOQ: flexible for ...

  • Quick Answer Yes. We routinely manufacture custom timing belts to match Gates, Continental ContiTech, Bando Chemical, and Mitsuboshi Belting specifications — either from your controlled drawing, an OEM part number, or a physical sample we reverse-engineer in our lab. Your own drawing, inspection criteria, and approved material stay on file, every production batch ships with a full traceabilit...

  • Quick Answer For a custom timing belt, our prototyping MOQ is as low as 10 pieces per specification, and production orders usually start at 50 to 100 pieces depending on tooth profile, width, and material. Custom samples are typically dispatched in 5 to 7 working days when tooling already exists and 7 to 12 working days when a new mold, die, or grinding fixture is required. Mixed-specificatio...

  • KEY TAKEAWAY PU foam belts provide superior abrasion resistance, chemical stability, and cleaner operation. Rubber foam belts offer better shock absorption, wider temperature range, and lower cost. The choice is application-dependent. The fundamental difference lies in polymer chemistry, which dictates mechanical, chemical, and thermal behavior. Here is a comprehensive comparison: Materi...

  • KEY TAKEAWAY A sponge timing belt is a synchronous belt with a foam layer bonded to its outer surface, designed to provide cushioning, grip, and noise absorption for transporting delicate or irregularly shaped products without damage. Sponge timing belts combine the precision of synchronous drive with the protective cushioning of a foam surface. The foam layer — typically PU, silicone, or...

  • KEY TAKEAWAY Vulcanization creates three-dimensional crosslinks between polymer chains, dramatically increasing tensile strength, wear resistance, heat stability, and permanent deformation resistance. Discovered by Charles Goodyear in 1839, vulcanization transforms raw rubber from a plastic, easily deformable state into an elastic, durable engineering material. In rubber vulcanization, su...

  • KEY TAKEAWAY A silicone vulcanized timing belt is manufactured through a heat-and-pressure chemical crosslinking process that permanently bonds the silicone layer to the belt body, creating a monolithic structure with superior peel resistance, longer service life, and better dimensional stability. The vulcanization process fundamentally transforms silicone from a thermoplastic state into ...

  • KEY TAKEAWAY Silicone timing belts maintain flexibility, dimensional stability, and mechanical integrity at continuous operating temperatures up to 200°C, far beyond the limits of standard rubber (120°C) or PU (80°C) belts. Silicone timing belts are engineered specifically for thermal extremes where conventional belt materials would degrade, embrittle, or melt. The key differentiator is t...

  • KEY TAKEAWAYSelect a PU timing belt by matching tooth profile (T/AT/ATL), pitch size, belt width, and tensile cord type to your machine speed, load, cleanliness requirements, and operating environment.Polyurethane (PU) timing belts are widely preferred in packaging machinery due to abrasion resistance, chemical stability, and lubrication-free operation. Selection requires systematic evaluation of ...
