Continental Contitech 20043117 Timing Belt 322L L Section

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20043117 is an L-section synchronous timing belt designed for positive-drive power transmission applications. Built to the 322L belt standard, it features 86 trapezoidal teeth and a nylon construction with a fiberglass tension cord. The trapezoidal tooth profile engages sprocket grooves with minimal backlash, maintaining precise timing between shafts. The fiberglass cord resists stretch under load, holding pitch length over the service life of the belt. This belt is installed by millwrights, mechanical technicians, and maintenance professionals working on light industrial and OEM drive systems.

The 322L timing belt is suited for positive-drive applications in light industrial machinery, HVAC equipment drives, conveyor systems, office equipment, and OEM power transmission assemblies that call for an L-series belt. It is the correct replacement wherever a 322L designation is specified on the drive system or in the equipment service manual. The L-section pitch standardization ensures interchangeability across compatible sprocket sets designed for the L series.

Key Features

• 322L belt number with 86 trapezoidal teeth for precise positive-drive timing
• L-section profile with a pitch length of 322.00 mm (approximately 32.2 inches internal length)
• Nylon belt body resists abrasion and maintains tooth form under repeated flex
• Fiberglass tension cord limits elongation and preserves center-distance accuracy
• Trapezoidal tooth geometry provides reliable engagement with standard L-series sprockets

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for any drive system specifying a 322L L-series timing belt with 86 teeth and standard L-section pitch spacing.

Installation Notes

Timing belt replacement is typically performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out all power to the drive system before removing guards or the existing belt. Check sprocket alignment and center distance against drive specifications before tensioning the new belt. Do not pry or force the belt over sprocket flanges, as this can damage the cord and reduce service life.
