Mechanical timing belts for positioning applications, designed to deliver accurate tooth engagement and quieter running. For hobbyists and technicians who need dependable spares, Geeyu Timing Belt 200XL combines neoprene construction with a fiberglass core and nylon tooth facing. Is the belt the right choice for heavier-duty or wider-belt systems?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Belt Construction: Neoprene rubber body with fiberglass core, 5.08mm pitch, trapezoidal teeth and nylon tooth facing
- • Best for: Positioning applications requiring accurate tooth engagement and low noise
- • Not ideal for: Applications demanding belts wider than 30mm or non-trapezoidal tooth systems
Neoprene timing belt with a 5.08mm pitch and trapezoidal tooth profile, finished with a nylon tooth facing for quieter operation. Available in a 200XL (508mm) nominal length and intended for precision positioning tasks.
Accurate positioning – thanks to 5.08mm pitch and trapezoidal tooth profile
A 5.08mm (0.2 inch) pitch sets consistent spacing between teeth, while the trapezoidal profile ensures positive engagement with matching 200XL pulleys. The geometry helps reduce slippage during stepwise motion.
Consistent tooth spacing and firm engagement reduce backlash, improving repeatable movement in printers, small CNC rigs and other positioning systems.
Quieter running and reduced wear – with nylon tooth facing
A nylon-facing layer on each tooth lowers friction where belt and pulley meet and damps vibration during mesh cycles. Less abrasive contact slows surface degradation.
Noise is noticeably reduced and tooth surfaces last longer, giving smoother operation and longer intervals between maintenance.
Dimensional stability under tension – thanks to fiberglass-reinforced neoprene
Fiberglass cords embedded through the neoprene carcass restrict elongation and maintain nominal length under load. The composite structure resists permanent stretch compared with unreinforced belts.
Stable length under tension means fewer retensions and consistently accurate timing across long runs and repetitive tasks.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Geeyu Timing Belt 200XL
- 508mm nominal length — Fits standard 200XL pulley systems with 508mm nominal length
- Fiberglass reinforcement — Maintains dimensional stability under sustained tension
- Nylon tooth facing — Reduces noise and resists wear for smoother long-term running
- Two-piece pack — Includes two belts for spares or multi-belt setups

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these belts suitable for positioning applications?
A: Yes. Description specifies a trapezoidal tooth profile intended for use in positioning applications.
Q: What is the belt pitch and why does it matter?
A: Pitch is 5.08mm (0.2 inch), which determines tooth spacing and compatibility with 200XL pulleys. Correct pitch ensures positive engagement and accurate motion transfer.
Q: What materials make up the belt and how do they help?
A: The belt uses a neoprene rubber body with a fiberglass core for reduced elongation, plus a nylon tooth facing to lower noise and improve wear resistance.
