Belt type S5M Supertorque timing belts
5mm pitch · Supertorque (STD) teeth · Metric sizes
S5M belts use the Supertorque (STD) tooth, a modified round tooth that carries more torque, runs more quietly and positions more accurately than a standard HTD belt of the same pitch. You’ll find them on power tools, appliances, packaging machines and light conveyors. Search by the code on the old belt, such as S5M-500-15, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or width.

Finding the right S5M belt
Reading the codeS5M-500-15 is a S5M belt with a 500mm pitch length and a 15mm width. The S at the front tells you it’s the Supertorque profile.
Counting teethPitch length divided by 5mm gives the tooth count, so a 500mm S5M belt has 100 teeth.
Supertorque or HTD?An S5M belt has the same 5mm pitch as an 5M HTD belt, but the teeth are shaped differently and need S-profile pulleys. Replace like for like; if the old belt has no S in the code, it’s probably HTD.
Tip: Belts cut to width or length to order can’t be returned unless faulty, so check the pitch, length and width before ordering.
