Replacement Square Belts
How to Measure Belts


We are sometimes asked about belt prices ... why are they so high, and why do they keep rising?  

The answer is that modern belts used in electronic gear are made from synthetic rubber rather than
natural rubber.   Synthetic rubber is an artificially made polymer which acts as an elastomer.

As you might suspect, synthetic rubber is petroleum-based.  As the price of oil increases,
everything that is made from oil goes up in price - including belts.

(Why not use natural rubber?   Because belts made of synthetic rubber last much longer than belts made
from natural rubber, so synthetic rubber remains the cost-effective alternative.)

SBO (Square Belt Other) belts are extra-small and typically used in smaller cassette decks, especially Walkman Type.  These are the thinnest square belts we carry - 1mm in thickness (just slightly thicker than a credit card).  I.C. (inside circumference) is shown in inches.
