Continental Contitech 20043168 Timing Belt 367L 98T

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20043168 is an L-series positive-drive timing belt designed for precision power transmission in mechanical drive systems. It carries belt number 367L and features 98 trapezoidal teeth with a pitch length of 367 millimeters and an internal length of 36.7 inches. The belt body is constructed from nylon with a fiberglass tensile cord for dimensional stability under load. Maintenance technicians and mechanical drive system installers work with this belt in applications requiring accurate timing and consistent torque transfer between drive components.

This L-section timing belt is suited for light- to medium-duty synchronous drive applications found in HVAC blower assemblies, commercial refrigeration equipment, pump drives, and general industrial machinery. The trapezoidal tooth profile mates with standard L-pitch sprockets and pulleys. Its 1-inch width and 98-tooth count make it a direct fit for fixed-center and adjustable-center drive configurations where belt slip cannot be tolerated.

Key Features

• L-section positive-drive series with 98 trapezoidal teeth for precise synchronous power transfer
• 367 mm pitch length with 36.7-inch internal length for accurate drive sizing
• 1-inch belt width compatible with standard L-pitch sprockets
• Nylon construction resists wear and maintains tooth form under repeated flex cycles
• Fiberglass tensile cord minimizes stretch and preserves center-to-center spacing over time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for L-series positive-drive synchronous belt applications using standard 367L-pitch sprockets and sheaves. Confirm sprocket tooth count, pitch, and shaft center distance before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with synchronous belt drive systems. Disconnect and lock out all power to the drive before removing guards or handling the belt. Never force the belt over sprocket flanges using tools that can damage the cord or tooth profile — always adjust center distance to allow slip-on installation. Verify proper belt tension and alignment per the drive manufacturer's specifications before returning the system to service.
