CONTI SYNCHROFORCE ADVANCE Timing Belts
CONTI SYNCHROFORCE ADVANCE reinforced timing belts in HTD and STD profiles are designed for transmitting high power and achieving the highest belt speeds (up to 60 m/s). They are antistatic in compliance with ISO 9563.
The belts are made of an aramid-fiber reinforced EPDM rubber, providing exceptional temperature resistance, with 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 SYNCHROFORCE CXP series).
Antistatic – for compliance with requirements to ISO 9563.
The trendsetters with less polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) for clean operation and protection of persons in case of long-term contact with the belt.

New EPDM Generation of CONTI SYNCHROFORCE Belts Replacing Chloroprene Rubber (CR) Belts
This represents a major technological step forward, delivering significant improvements in key performance characteristics of drive belts – higher temperature resistance, longer service life, reduced environmental impact, and cleaner operation.
The belts feature a new imprint design which, like the designation of the performance classes, follows the principles defined within the Continental CONTINUITY project.
Production of the previous-generation CONTI SYNCHROFORCE CXP belts was discontinued at the end of 2025. Items currently in stock will continue to be available in our online store while supplies last.
The new CONTI SYNCHROFORCE ADVANCE belts retain exactly the same dimensions (pitch, length, and profile) as their predecessors and can therefore replace them smoothly and without concern.
Belt Construction
- Protective low-friction polyamide fabric
- Teeth made of aramid-fiber reinforced EPDM rubber
- Glass-cord tension member
- Backing made of aramid-fiber reinforced EPDM rubber
Typical Applications
CONTI SYNCHROFORCE ADVANCE timing belts are intended for demanding industrial applications with high transmitted power and the highest belt speeds.
They are typically used in machine tools, compressors, printing and textile machinery, and many other types of equipment from precision engineering to heavy industry.
Thanks to the improved temperature resistance provided by the advanced EPDM compound, additional application possibilities open up.

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.
