What is the MOQ and sample policy for customized timing belts?
Update Time:2026/10/16
Short answer: customized timing belts are produced to order, so there is normally a minimum order quantity — but it is kept low for first-time customers, and sample belts can usually be made before mass production. Lead time for custom belts is typically about 1–3 weeks depending on the mold, profile and quantity. Contact us with your drawing or old belt for an exact quotation.
MOQ: flexible for new customers
Because custom belts are made to your exact length, width and profile, production is scheduled per order. Typical practice:

Sample policy
Samples can be produced from your drawing, a physical old belt, or the machine's dimension data.
Sample fees are normally charged at production cost and may be credited against a later bulk order — confirm when requesting.
Reverse-engineered samples start from the old belt you send us; we measure pitch, width, tooth profile and cord type.
Custom belts are vulcanized to your exact length and profile.
Lead time and shipping

Custom belts typically take about 1–3 weeks depending on profile, tooling and quantity. Rush options may be possible — ask.
