Abstract:
The present invention relates to a toothed belt (1) having a belt body (10) which extends substantially in a longitudinal direction (X) and which comprises a flexible material, wherein at least one tension member (13), preferably a plurality of tension members (13), is at least substantially embedded in the flexible material of the belt body (10) in the longitudinal direction (X) and is at least substantially enclosed by the flexible material of the belt body (10), wherein the belt body (10) has a toothed side (11) with teeth (14) and tooth spaces (15) which alternate in the longitudinal direction (X). The toothed belt (1) is characterized in that a minimum thickness (a) of the flexible material of the belt body (10) in the vertical direction (Z) on the tension member (13) of at least one tooth space (15), preferably of all tooth spaces (15), corresponds at least to a minimum thickness (h) of the flexible material of the belt body (10) in the vertical direction (Z) on the tension member (13), wherein the minimum thickness (h) is calculated as follows in dependence on the thickness (d) of the tension member (13) in the vertical direction (Z) and on the material hardness (ShA) of the flexible material of the belt body (10) in Shore A: h=3*d/ShA.
