Abstract
The path to the fully automated factory contains many logistical challenges, mainly in the areas of product transportation, handling and feeding. In this chapter, timing belts are considered in both their range of applications and variety, and described in detail for specific transport tasks. The explanations offered are detailed regarding the different friction conditions on both the transport and running side of the belts.

Camber Resistance: Using support rollers or idlers so that the belt always comes to rest on the same edge. The contact force x coefficient of friction is the camber resistance.
