What are the advantages of synchronous belt and flat belt in tray assembly line?

Date:2025-07-02


Belt pallet assembly line is a common material conveying equipment, widely used in manufacturing fields such as automotive manufacturing, 3c electronics, logistics, photovoltaic, and lighting. It is mainly used for the automated transportation and sorting of pallets.


The core of it is to smoothly and efficiently transport pallets from one position to another through a continuous conveyor belt.


01 The difference between synchronous belts and flat belts:

There are two common types: flat belts and synchronous belts, which are widely used in industry. Many friends want to know: What are the differences between flat belts and synchronous belts, and in which industries are they respectively applied? What are their respective advantages?

· Synchronous belt conveyor line

Synchronous belts, also known as toothed belts, are driven by steel wires inside the belt body for transmission. The belt body has teeth, so it has higher transmission accuracy and efficiency. It is suitable for transmission over a certain distance and also for matching transmission of balanced lines.

· Flat belt conveyor line

The flat belt can act as a buffer and prevent the motor from getting stuck with the driving machine. Therefore, it is very easy to achieve non-parallel transmission fit, that is, the driving wheel and the driven wheel cannot be in parallel fit and can be twisted at 90°.


02 Advantages of Synchronous belts

The transmission is smooth, with buffering and vibration reduction capabilities, and the noise is low

② High transmission accuracy, no slippage during operation, and accurate and constant transmission ratio

③ As no lubrication is required, maintenance and upkeep are more convenient

Compared with ordinary conveyor belts, the preload of synchronous belts is relatively small, and the load on the shaft and bearings is relatively small


Advantages of 03 Flat belts

It is suitable for transmission applications where the center distance between two shafts is relatively large

② Flat belts operate smoothly and noiselessly, and they have the characteristics of buffering and vibration reduction

③ The cost is relatively low. The belt does not require lubrication and maintenance is relatively convenient

④ It can be used for long-distance transmission


Compared with other pallet conveying systems, the belt pallet assembly line comprehensively balances stability, flexibility and investment cost, and is suitable for the transportation of medium and small-sized pallets at different distances. Nowadays, synchronous belt conveyor lines and flat belt conveyor lines, with their efficient and flexible conveying capacity, have become indispensable equipment in modern logistics and production lines.
