A belt ( ), and a method of forming a belt ( ), with at least one row of teeth ( ) formed on at least one surface of the betling ( ). To improve the tooth formation of the belting ( ), and the abrasion of the belting ( ), the outer surface of the teeth ( ) are formed with the disclosed bi-directional stretch woven fabric ( ). The warp ( ) and weft ( ) yarns are formed of a core yarn ( ) about which is helically wrapped at least one yarn ( or ), forming a scaffold construction. The bi-directional stretch characteristics of the fabric ( ) permit greater deformation of the fabric ( ) while forming the belt teeth ( ).

Synchronous drive belt with scaffold stretch fabric

An endless power transmission belt comprising a tension section, a cushion section and a load-carrying section disposed between the tension and the cushion sections, and at least one drive surface having fabric layer bonded to an outer surface of the belt is coated with a layer of polyvinylidene fluoride.

Power transmission belt

A high modulus composition based on a mixture of a hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber which has been modified with either zinc methacrylate or a combination of zinc oxide and methacrylic acid and an unmodified hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber for use in high load-bearing synchronous drive belts and belts made therewith.
