Continental Contitech 20043137 Timing Belt 255L 68 Teeth

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20043137 is an L-section timing belt designed for positive-drive power transmission applications. It features 68 trapezoidal teeth and a fiberglass tension cord encased in a nylon body, providing consistent pitch stability and resistance to elongation under load. The belt carries the standard designation 255L, corresponding to a pitch length of 255.00 mm. It is used in mechanical drive systems where precise synchronization between shafts is required. Licensed HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance mechanics, and equipment service professionals install this type of belt in motors, blowers, and auxiliary drive assemblies.

This L-series positive-drive timing belt is suited for residential and light commercial equipment that uses synchronous belt drive systems. Typical applications include blower assemblies, pump drives, and other motor-to-shaft configurations that require accurate speed ratios and low-slip power transfer. The L section is a widely used standard pitch size in trade equipment. Install this belt when replacing a worn or damaged 255L drive belt in any compatible L-section timing drive system.

Key Features

• L-section trapezoidal tooth profile for positive-drive synchronization
• 68 teeth with 255.00 mm pitch length for precise shaft timing
• Nylon belt body provides durability and wear resistance
• Fiberglass tension cord minimizes stretch and maintains belt length under load
• Conforms to standard 255L belt designation for straightforward cross-referencing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for L-section timing belt drives requiring a 255L belt with 68 teeth and a 255.00 mm pitch length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the equipment before removing the drive cover or existing belt. Verify pulley alignment and center-to-center distance match the 255L belt specification before installation. Do not force the belt onto pulleys or pry with tools, as this can damage the tension cord and tooth profile.
