Benefits of the use of positive-fit transmission elements
High speed and acceleration
Lower mass and noise levels
A variety of possible compared with chain drives
applications at low design cost

Precise synchronism due to Hygienic, since no

positive engagement lubricants involved

Maintenance-free (no
lubrication and High efficiency up to
retensioning necessary) 98%

Compact drive design Low shaft load because

of low initial tensions

Reason for white color offer

› Continental has been always a specialist Market color Open Ended PU

on OEM projects
› Focus on round profiles
› Focus on black color
› Distributors needs to be able to provide
offers to general market. General market
requires
› All profiles Continental = black color
90% of market = white color
› big share of T + AT Profiles
› White color

How is it possible to offer attractive prices?

• We follow the lean management approach

of standard work

• We produce high quantities to ensure a

most efficient production process

• We stock and sell only standard roll lengths

to eliminate operational handling.

• No costs on cutting
• No costs on transport
• No costs on doing something

Space for Sender Information 8 February 2021

Internal Author, © Continental AG 36
Where is the range coming from?

• T + AT are the most common profiles in the market

• White color is market standard
• The stock range of standard roll lengths have been
selected by an A-B-C-Analyse
• The range definition process considered:
› Sales history
› Lessons learned
› Market benchmark
› Key-Account-Needs

Installation – Pretension

› Set the initial tension output to the

calculation report in the CONTI®
Professional design software as specified
› Adhere also to the test length specified in
the report, to which the natural frequency
displayed refers
› Using a suitable tension gauge (VSM 1,
VSM 3 or VSM MINI)
