    The Dodge HT500 synchronous drive system offers high torque and low maintenance with less overhung load than V-belt drives. The HT500 belts offer longer life in wet/oily environments than their rubber counterparts.

     Complementing the HT500 sprockets is the Dodge HT500 high-torque synchronous belt, available in 8 and 14-mm metric pitch. The belt is made from polyurethane for harsh environment resistance and carbon-fiber cords, providing higher torque carrying capacity than aramid-fiber tensile-cord-made belts.
