Belt type MXL timing belts

2.032mm (0.080″) pitch · Trapezoidal teeth · Imperial sizes

MXL timing belts have a 2.032mm (0.080″) pitch and the classic trapezoidal tooth. You’ll find them on printers, office machines, instruments, scanners and small motion-control drives, and on plenty of older and American-built machinery. They give a positive, slip-free drive with no stretch, so timing and speed stay exact. Search by the code on the old belt, such as 100MXL025, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or width.

Finding the right MXL belt

Reading the code100MXL025 is a 10.0″ pitch length belt (the first number is the length in tenths of an inch), MXL pitch, 1/4″ wide. The last three digits are the width in hundredths of an inch. Common widths are 012 (1/8″), 019 (3/16″) and 025 (1/4″).

Counting teethPitch length divided by the pitch gives the tooth count. A 10.0″ MXL belt has 125 teeth. If the code has worn off, counting the teeth is the most reliable way to get the length.

MXL or 2M?MXL has a 2.032mm pitch and trapezoidal teeth. A 2M belt is 2mm pitch with round teeth. They look close but won’t mesh properly with each other’s pulleys, so check before you swap.

Tip: Belts cut to width or length to order can’t be returned unless faulty, so check the pitch, length and width before ordering.
