Belt type XH timing belts

22.225mm (0.875″) pitch · Trapezoidal teeth · Imperial sizes

XH timing belts have a 22.225mm (0.875″) pitch and the classic trapezoidal tooth. You’ll find them on heavy industrial drives, large pumps, mills and heavy-duty conveyors, 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 700XH300, and use the filters to narrow it down by length or width.

Finding the right XH belt

Reading the code700XH300 is a 70.0″ pitch length belt (the first number is the length in tenths of an inch), XH pitch, 3″ wide. The last three digits are the width in hundredths of an inch. Common widths are 200 (2″), 300 (3″) and 400 (4″).

Counting teethPitch length divided by the pitch gives the tooth count. A 70.0″ XH belt has 80 teeth. If the code has worn off, counting the teeth is the most reliable way to get the length.

XH or 14M?XH is a heavy-duty imperial section. A 14M HTD belt is the modern metric equivalent for new drives, but the two need their own pulleys, so stick with XH on an existing drive.

Tip: For the drive, we stock matching XH timing pulleys and imperial taper lock bushes. Note: belts cut to width or length to order can’t be returned unless faulty, so check the pitch, length and width before ordering.

No code?Measure the pitch, count the teeth and measure the width. Our how to measure guide shows you how.
