Continental Contitech 20043161 Timing Belt 240L 64 Teeth

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20043161 is an L-series positive-drive timing belt designed for power transmission applications requiring precise synchronization between drive and driven components. Built with a nylon construction and fiberglass cord reinforcement, this belt delivers dimensional stability and resistance to elongation under load. The trapezoidal tooth profile engages timing pulleys accurately, maintaining consistent pitch across all 64 teeth. With a 1.0 inch width and a pitch length of 240.00 millimeters, this belt suits a range of light-duty to medium-duty drive systems found in industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, and mechanical assemblies.

This belt is intended for use in timing drive systems that require an L-section belt, commonly found in conveyor drives, pump drives, fan assemblies, and OEM equipment. The 240L designation is a widely recognized belt number in the L-series family, making it a direct drop-in replacement in applications already spec'd for this belt number. Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, millwrights, or equipment service professionals working on belt-driven systems.

Key Features

• L-series positive-drive belt with trapezoidal tooth profile for accurate pulley engagement
• 64 teeth with a pitch length of 240.00 millimeters for consistent synchronization
• 1.0 inch belt width suitable for standard L-section pulleys
• Nylon belt material provides durability and wear resistance
• Fiberglass cord construction limits stretch and maintains belt tension over service life
• Belt number 240L for straightforward cross-reference and replacement ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for L-series positive-drive timing belt applications requiring a 240L belt designation with a 1.0 inch width and 64-tooth count.

Installation Notes

Power down and de-energize all equipment before removing or installing timing belts. Do not pry or force the belt over pulley flanges, as this can damage the fiberglass cord and reduce service life. Verify pulley alignment and correct center distance before tensioning the belt according to the equipment manufacturer's specifications. This type of installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC service technicians following applicable equipment service documentation.
