CONTI SYNCHROFORCE STD S8M Timing Belts
CONTI SYNCHROFORCE timing belts in the STD S8M profile are designed for cost-efficient drives in the lower and medium power range. They are antistatic in compliance with ISO 9563.
The 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 STD S8M CONTI SYNCHROBELT belts).

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 SYNCHROBELT 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 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 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.
Properties
- High power transmission capability
- Long service life – significantly extended service cycle compared to chloroprene (CR) belts
- Conditionally oil-resistant
- Suitable for use in tropical environments
- Temperature resistance from −40 °C to +120 °C
- Chlorine-free, PFAS-free, with reduced levels of PAHs, halogens, and solvents
- Maintenance-free
- Antistatic properties according to ISO 9563

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.
