synchronous timing belt torque 1

[keklon]

I want to replace a #40 single strand roller chain with a synchronous timing belt, imperial pitch "H", 1" wide.Will it be strong enough? Its 1:1 ratio 2.250" spocket (15 tooth). Its a conveyor driven by a speed reducer gear box output 60 RPM. The output torque of the speed reducer is listed at 440 in. lbs. Thanks for any help.

Might be.

Almost certainly the belt manufacturer's catalog will guide you through the calculations to confirm.

keklon,

You should be able to check the manufacturer's catalogue and/or website to see the torques and speeds of their drives. That should answer your question.
