Belt type DXL double-sided timing belts

5.08mm pitch · Teeth on both faces · Same pulleys as XL

DXL belts are XL timing belts with teeth on both faces, so one belt can drive pulleys on either side. They’re used on serpentine drives where shafts need to turn in opposite directions, such as textile, printing, packaging and agricultural machinery. Search by the code on the old belt, such as D210XL037, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or width.

Finding the right DXL belt

Reading the codeD210XL037 is the XL code with a D in front: same pitch length, pitch and width as 210XL037, but toothed on both sides.

Single or double sided?If the drive only uses the teeth on one side, a standard XL belt of the same size will do the job for less. Fit a double-sided belt where pulleys or idlers run on the back of the belt.

MeasuringMeasure the pitch over ten teeth on either face and divide by ten, count the teeth on one side for the length, and measure the overall width.

Tip: DXL belts are thicker than a single-sided XL belt, so check there’s clearance on the drive. Note: belts cut to width or length to order can’t be returned unless faulty, so check the pitch, length and width before ordering.
