Belt Description
STD S8M-0848-50 CONTI SYNCHROFORCE (EPDM, Formerly CONTI SYNCHROBELT) is a timing belt designed for cost-efficient drives in the lower and medium power range. It is antistatic in compliance with ISO 9563.
The CONTI SYNCHROFORCE STANDARD belts are made of an EPDM rubber with exceptional temperature resistance and a glass-cord tension member. They offer a significantly extended service life compared to the previous chloroprene generation (in the ContiTech portfolio, they replace the former CONTI SYNCHROBELT series).
Construction
- Protective low-friction polyamide fabric
- Teeth made of EPDM rubber
- Glass-cord tension member
- Backing made of EPDM rubber
Typical Applications
CONTI SYNCHROFORCE STANDARD timing belts in the S8M profile are used in a wide range of industrial applications, from compact drives to medium-duty power transmission.
Typical applications include machine tools and printing machinery, smaller industrial and professional equipment, garden machinery, compressors, generators, and many other machines across various industries.
Thanks to the improved temperature resistance provided by the advanced EPDM compound, even broader use cases are enabled.

Notice
General factory certificates are not sufficient for belts used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
If a test report according to ISO 1813 and ISO 9563 is required for the application, it is necessary to inform us of the request for delivery of belts including the certificate when ordering them (when ordering belts via Eshop, please write this request in the "Note" field before by sending the order). The certificate is issued by ContiTech after the test in the production plant.
