To ensure perfect guidance, timing belts can be fitted with a drive guide. Drive guides can be attached or co-extruded.
Coextruded drive guides :
The advantages of belts with co-extruded/integrated drive guides are lower manufacturing costs and better resistance of the guide over time. The drive guide is made from the same polyurethane as the Belt. However, not all tooth profiles are available.
Coextruded drive guides are notched to facilitate winding onto the Pulleys. This allows the use of smaller diameter Pulleys.

Dimensions of the guide profile inserts :
The Belt is machined to create a groove and the trapezoidal guide profile is fused into this groove.
There are guide profiles specifically adapted to timing belts, but polyurethane conveyor belt profiles can also be used (preferably notched to reduce winding diameters).
