Belt type T2.5 polyurethane timing belts
2.5mm pitch · Trapezoidal T teeth · Steel-corded PU
T2.5 belts are polyurethane timing belts with steel tension cords and a metric trapezoidal tooth. They don’t stretch, resist oil and grease, and give accurate, repeatable positioning. You’ll find them on printers, office machines, instruments and small positioning drives. Search by the code on the old belt, such as T2.5-480-6, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or width.

Finding the right T2.5 belt
Reading the codeT2.5-480-6 is a T2.5 belt with a 480mm length and a 6mm width. Some makers write it as 6 T2.5/480 (width, profile, length), which means the same belt.
Counting teethLength divided by 2.5mm gives the tooth count, so a 480mm T2.5 belt has 192 teeth. Check whether you need an endless belt or open length for clamping.
T2.5 or MXL?T2.5 is a 2.5mm metric pitch. MXL is 2.032mm and imperial. Measure over ten teeth to tell them apart.
Tip: For the drive, we stock matching T2.5 timing pulleys. Many PU belts are supplied as open length or cut to width, and belts cut to width or length to order can’t be returned unless faulty, so check the pitch, length and width before ordering.
