Can you make custom timing belts to replace Gates or Mitsuboshi belts?

Update Time:2026/10/16

Short answer: yes. We reverse-engineer timing belts from a sample or your dimension data and manufacture equivalents compatible with common international profiles (HTD, STD, T, AT, and common inch pitches). Drawings and samples you send are kept strictly confidential — an NDA can be signed on request. GOODLY Belts is an independent manufacturer, not affiliated with any other brand.

How reverse engineering works

1. Send data

Mail us the old belt (fastest and most accurate) or send photos plus measurements: pitch, width, number of teeth or length, and cord type if known.

2. We measure and match

We identify the profile family, pitch and construction, then confirm the equivalent specification with you before production.

3. Sample and verify

A sample belt is produced for fitting verification, then batch production follows once you confirm fit and performance.

The old belt tells us everything: profile, pitch, width and construction.

Compatibility with major brands

Our belts are dimensionally compatible with many common profiles used by equipment originally fitted with belts from brands such as Gates, Continental, Bando or Mitsuboshi. This is a compatibility cross-reference only:

  • What must match: pitch, tooth profile, width and pitch length — these determine whether the belt fits and runs.
  • What may differ: internal cord choice and rubber compound can be adjusted to your application (for example aramid cord for shock loads).
  • GOODLY Belts is an independent manufacturer and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sourcing from the brands mentioned. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Confidentiality

Drawings, samples and specifications you provide are used only for your order. We are glad to sign an NDA before you share technical documents, and we do not resell customer-specific designs to third parties.
Engineer reviewing belt technical drawing
Your drawings stay confidential and are used only for your production.

When reverse engineering is the right choice

  • The original belt brand is discontinued, overpriced, or has long lead times in your region (common for US and Mexican buyers).
  • You need a non-standard length or width that local distributors do not stock.
  • You want the same fit with material upgraded for oil, heat, static or food-contact conditions.
Custom belts packaged for international shipment
Custom equivalents ship worldwide with fit verification done before dispatch.

Send us the old belt — we will match it

Email photos and dimensions, or mail the sample. We will confirm the equivalent spec, quote the price and sign an NDA if needed.
